 Today, I was able to attend Mass at Bastora church. Rio wasn't around and the others did not follow me. After Mass, I stayed a while and said my daily pray.ers including the Consecration prayer. 

As I was exiting, I met Fr Andrew who didn't seem very pleased to see me. I asked about the timings of the chapel for Adoration. He said it was already opened. Then I asked when it was closed and he said 12.30. I have eaten my brunch and now I will try to go there for an hour. If Rio doesn't follow, that is. Guardian angel, please help! 

I switched on at 8 am and switched off at 11 am. 


I went to the Blessed Sacrament chapel around 11.45. On the way, I was stopped by AFA vehicle and the guy inside whom I recognised as taking Rio for his castration asked if I wanted them to take Dane. I realised that it was a heaven sent opportunity and agreed. Unfortunately Dane struggled and bruised himself trying to escape from the net. After he was in the cage, I signed the consent form. The guy said he'll be returned after five days. I have now informed the boys. Kirsten was upset and said he'll go to see that Dane is ok. All the best! 

After visiting the Blessed Sacrament chapel for half an hour, I dropped in at the panchayat to check my BP which was normal - 123/78. Dr said to come tomorrow or any Wednesday for fasting sugar blood test. Tomorrow I will be going to LLA so I will go next Wednesday.

  This blog has been in utero for so long, I cannot believe that I am  finally doing it.   Let me explain. When I was a teenager, I used to write down everything I did into my personal diaries. I'd use foolscap books for this. On their pages, I would vent my frustrations and celebrate my achievements. I got to be myself in those vitriolic expressions of my angst.  Years later, a few years into marriage, I destroyed those books. I tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to return to 'logging' my life but somehow it never really took off.  Even now, I start this blog with the feeling that I may not remember to chronicle like I used to. Anyway, I am going to try.  Wish me perseverance.  Today, 26 September 2025, I learnt something about myself. If you want, you can fool the world. A bossy neighbour tried to undermine my hard work. Initially, he tried the bullying tactics which didn't work. Then he tried to interfere. I asked him outright if he had. No, he said, wit...

  Finally spoke to Fr Francis about our family issues and he has said that the community wants that our children not be present at the table when they are eating. I've told Aaron and Daniel to stop. Kirsten's situation is more complicated so he has to go and speak separately. I've told him to do that asap. I've also told Glenn that he has to take the initiative to speak with Fr Francis.

  9.30 am Went for Mass with Aaron for his birthday. We had to go to Mapusa as Bastora church wa closed. We kept the bike at the car wash area as Aaron still hasn't got his driving licence.  I am going to call Dr Edison now as see if he can help me to get Rio rehomed on a farm. I earnestly hope he will be able to help. God willing. Don't want the poor chap to die because of his chasing bikes.  Put valve on. Took video of meter to show it's working. I wonder if Morgaonkar is putting the valve off after I put it on. Will check after half hour.  Link to video https://youtu.be/TBAdqIdNPlk?si=azifeSgIvBZd0tTC
