Today is the feast of St Luke, Evangelist. 


I couldn't go for Mass today due to a spell of loose motions. Took two tablets to stop it. 

I did some prep work for the pots that will be in my new grille box. Then I put the water valve on at 9 am. Reading was 31556. I will switch off at noon and click a picture  of the meter. 

The workers have come to clean the compound, staircases and remove the green nets. Rs 5000 but we will retain Rs 1000 till the grass dries up and is burnt 🔥 Did not retain as he insisted on taking it all. I told him that if he didn't complete the work of burning the dried grass, we will not hire him again. 

I went at 5 pm to Ancila's for rosary, then Aaron picked me up to go for rosary to MBBS. Returned at 7 pm. 

Switched on valve before leaving at 5 pm. Will switch off when I go for my night stroll. 




Swelling still there on my hand. Can't help using it as it my work hand! 😔

  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
