We are about to become fully fledged members of the BARMY ARMY


Cricket madness will commence tomorrow as we make our trip to India worthwhile by going to see the first test match in Chennai.
We are all most excited but am a little worried that the picking up of Wilma and Larry that is supposed to be taking place tomorrow will disrupt our viewing.
Naturally not worried about terrorists attacks but are worried about the threat of rain especially as we have had showers over the last few days.
We bought 8 tickets at 300 rupees which is bloody cheap for us but are expensive for the locals and so are actually the best seats.
After we had quickly bought our tickets (no queue) we were stopped by a local camera man and asked to make fools of ourselves by giving an impromptu interview. embarrassing, especially daddy talking about fair play and it being the taking part that counts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, we have not yet been able to see our container but daddy has managed to make sure that they will not open it without us being there and so stopping some potential problems. We are hoping that we can get Wilma and Larry back without having to pay any bribes.

We have also had to stop downloading things from the internet at Darani's house as we have gone over the download limit and, as we are responsible people, do not want them to have to pay for daddy's Cliff Richard collection.

We also understand that some people have been having trouble commenting on our blog. We hope that this does not deter people from commenting although understand that this may be a problem only experienced by the uninitiated few.

I am now very jealous indeed. :-) Hope the rain keeps off for the first days play. Glad you are all still well. We missed Lewis at Rozie's fifth Birthday party on Sunday. Dwight, you would have enjoyed the parental participation in the party games I am sure. Looking forward to seeing you all when the (eventually) get back.

love and best wishes

Tim, Mim, Dan & Roz
