Practice

So roll up Perth trip. Xmas day didn't feel any different to a normal workday. It's strange how quickly time flies in the rush to get to a flight that will probably be late anyway. The flight over went smoothly enough; Naina watched DVDs on her new player for an hour or so, stuffed herself on icecream and any food that walked past and Sarva slept fairly contentedly. Though Qantas gave seats without bassinets so Deepti had to hold Sarva for most of the flight.

I came home to an empty house and a vision of my life from Jan 21 onwards. Over the next six days I managed to:

• Eat KFC, Subway, Oporto, Nandos, Crust Pizza and Fish and Chips at least once and possibly twice. Don't worry, the Fish and Chips were cooked at home.
  
• Watch approximately 12 hours of cricket
• Spend two hours at the boxing day sales going to Good Guys, JB HiFi, Dick Smith, back to Good Guys, looking for KFC (at 10 am), Office Works, Chemist Warehouse (Panamax for 69 cents!) by which time I found an open KFC. Must remember to actually buy some electronics next boxing day.

It's gonna be a long three months.

Meanwhile, Naina was having a blast at the Perth Zoo. Her time with Pammie Bua (Prani) and Dada-zee (Dad) was the longest non-school related time Naina's been away from either one of us. Clearly she was missing us.
