Good afternoon from this side of the planet. It's 4:33 PM here and I am a bit delayed for my afternoon nap. I will catch a short one as soon as I finish writing this post. I have not written any post in last two days and wanted to write one today. Was here busy cleaning up the huge piles of notifications. And Yay! It's done. Now I can come back here later and catch up with your posts Now there is a huge pile of laundry to be ironed. And that's my next pile to be dealed with. We are having continuous rain and thunderstorm in last four days with lots of power cut. So, a lot has piled up on ironing front. I plan to do that after my nap with music played on. Dinner is ready. I finished cooking it along with lunch. I plan to do some half an hour of indoor cardio when I wake up after my 30 minutes napAnd then after dinner, I will iron. There has been no rain after 11 in the morning. But it was cloudy whole day and now the clouds are getting darker. It might pour soon Catch you later. Leaving you with this picture of simple beautiful rangoli design that my younger daughter made today on occasion of Vijaydashmi ( Dussehra). . Well, something to cheer up in this gloomy weather Off to nap

Your daughter did a wonderful job to celebrate your religious festival. I went out grocery shopping with my husband soon after lunch, the day was so nice and warm.

Thank you Anna. I am happy that she took some time to do this simple design despite her busy schedule. We finally had respite from the rain. The last two days are dry and sunny and the weather is pleasant. I hope it stays this way for a while.

Thank you so much. I am glad that you liked it.This is one simple design that she did. She had exams around the corner and she didn't want to do a complicated one spending more time. I am glad that at least she did it despite being busy with her exams.

Good. That saves a lot of time and energy. Here, they are costly. Also with four people and two overactive sporty teens, I get enough washing and ironing to be done

She will be 15 on 31 October. This is rangoli... it's a traditional art of decorating floors and walls with special colorful rangoli powders and flowers. I am glad that you liked it

@arunima25 how long this decoration on floors can be last? She might be an artist someday with creativity

@Vree0937 If it's made with rangoli powders, you can leave them for as long as you want. You should not stamp on it. But if you use flowers and leaves, they might dry in some days.

It's good to see you too. I got busy with school examination and all. Then I was sick for few days after my vaccination second dose. Now, we are getting busy with Diwali cleaning and preparation. No celebration is same like before after the pandemic. How are you? Hope all is well at your end. What about your health? That was troubling you when we interacted last time.

@anil02 I can understand your feelings as a parent. But that's the reality.. Children move out and have their own lives and obligations. Take care of your health. I hope you show improvement with your physiotherapy. It takes a long time for some to respond.

The design is very pretty. It's been raining here several times per week and sometimes all day long with thunderstorms. Our area hasn't lost power that I know of though. I'm at the wound center waiting to get wrapped back up and then I'm thinking of getting a few groceries, and gas before going back home to wait for my new stove to be delivered.

Thanks Dianne...chores and work never end. They go round and round like a circle. Our vacation was good. With gloomy weather and ongoing rain, we stayed indoors and enjoyed it. Now it's over and the next one will be for Diwali. That's almost around the corner. Daughters were busy with their exam preparation. So, younger one did not go for a complicated design and spend more time. She chose a simple one. It's elegant. I am glad that she spent some time despite her busy study time. Hope all is well at your end
