Good morning from this side of the planet . It's 8:45 AM here and it's a pleasant sunny morning here . My younger daughter left the house a while ago. She was all dressed up in a beautiful saree with traditional make up. She looked so beautiful . She has her music recital performance today in one of the very well known cultural center here. And it's pretty far. I couldn't accompany her because I am not yet comfortable sitting for long hours. Husband was supposed to drop her and my elder daughter wanted to accompany too. But then my elder daughter slipped yesterday evening while playing with my neighbor's dog. She has sprained her ankle and has crap bandage. Thankfully, X ray shows nothing serious. Doctor adviced for rest and some pain killers. It should be okay in few days. She is feeling much better this morning. My husband had a colleague in office loosing her husband last night in car accident and early morning he had to leave with others. Luckily, my friend and her husband agreed to take my daughter for the program and be there till the end. Their daughter has her performance too there. They have their solo items and one performance where they both sing together. This is the first time I am missing her performance and I am feeling bad about that. Have asked my friend to record it and send us. We woke up to a wet morning after night long shower. And it's sunny Sunday now The picture is of the flowers from my terrace garden soaked in raindrops. They are gorgeous I am missing my garden view, but my husband keeps sending such pictures to keep my mood lifted. Hope all is well in your myLot corner. And you are enjoying your weekend

It's night here. Hoping that if it rains, we aren't caught in it, when we do decide to go out.

I am proud that she handled it so well. You know with her spectrum, these last moment changes can upset her. But my elder one talked to her and she was fine. At times siblings are better at handling them than the professionals. Glad that you liked the flowers, the raindrops make them more beautiful.

@allknowing Yes, I can. I am still to get the recordings. They were not allowed to record or take photos there. They promised that each participant will get the recordings later. She did well, she kept getting compliments

I hope the recital went well for your youngest daughter. I would ask, if you're comfortable doing so, please post your daughter's solo performance on YouTube so we can enjoy it, too. If you aren't comfortable posting it, that's okay... We understand. I hope your elder daughter feels better soon.

Yes, the recital went well. I am yet to get the video recording. I have got some pictures. My elder daughter is doing good. She gave full rest to the leg. No swelling or discomfort. Today she was without painkiller and was fine. I never shared my children's picture or video online on any platform. So, never made YouTube video. Now, she is 18. And last year, she had participated in one All India musical contest. In the duet section, they reached till the final for classical vocal. And they were in top 5, though they didn't win. Here is the YouTube video of that entry. I could get what was for first two rounds online, they had to record and upload on YouTube.The final round was at a physical venue. https://youtu.be/4pAuXwMFuZc?si=pvDM02WXXabHl-Nl She is the one in blue top. In both videos. She has the same pink dupatta.

That's lucky that a friend was able to take your daughter. For a while there, it would have seemed like the fates were conspiring against you

@arunima25 That happens in my niece's house. The oldest boy is very good at calming the youngest if he gets upset about something.

Happy that you liked the photo. My elder daughter is okay now. It was nothing serious. The leg needed some rest with a few pain killers. X ray was clean. I was worried about my younger daughter. I am proud that she handled it so well. You know with her spectrum, these last moment changes can upset her. But my elder one talked to her and she was fine.

It wis indeed a lovely day. It's okay to rain during night time and have a sunshine in the morning. I hope your daughter had a successful recital. That picture of flower is truly beautiful.

I like that setting between rain and sun, they decide their shifts. Her recital was good. Everyone loved it, she got a lot of compliments and appreciation. I am happy that you liked this picture. The raindrops make it more gorgeous.
