Yeah! I love my new cam. It is nice being back in a house, but it needs a lot of maintainenence too.<br /><br />MRC - I liked living in a house, as long as I was not at the helm of things, but when it was mine, an apartment was more convenient. ;)<br /><br />D - Thanks. :)<br /><br />Smitha - Yes I am! House- living does have its charm, but is a lot more of work too. I am sure landscaped gardens with potted plants look beautiful too.<br /><br />Silvara - Uff! you show off. ;) Fortunate you never had to live in Bombay. :P But I do know what you mean, I had a tough time adjusting post marriage. A picnic wow, maybe next year. <br /><br />Aneela - Thanks for letting me know. How are you doing in Dhaka?<br /><br />Maddy - Hey! You knew where I lived. How? Aah! yes, you had asked me on the old blog once. But how did you know???<br /><br />Gyanban - Hey, welcome, and a Happy Republic Day to you too.

We have to shift places, and am worried that we might have to move to a flat if we don't find the right house - and I hate to even think about that prospect. I just love living in houses. <br /><br />You have a nice garden! That is one thing I miss - mine is all landscaped for easy maintenance so can't really plant - which I always want to do - so I have to manage with potted plants. <br /><br />BB looks like he is enjoying his backyard :) And have a great holiday tomorrow :) I have forgotten what it was like to have a holiday on the 26th of jan :)Smithahttp://wordsndreamz.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062566679426397319.post-31499915243138846552010-01-26T05:00:38.592+10:002010-01-26T05:00:38.592+10:00Nice pics Goofy!Nice pics Goofy!Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279878087585603554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062566679426397319.post-69674458087251715912010-01-26T02:46:45.503+10:002010-01-26T02:46:45.503+10:00I know how you feel!I've grown up living in ho...I know how you feel!I've grown up living in houses,with gardens,wild and tended,in cantonments all over India, and the few years that I've spent in a city were pretty suffocating.That is also one of the reasons I married my husband ;) (exactly 6 years ago, tomorrow)MRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650179854013176989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062566679426397319.post-52470200922277861932010-01-26T00:58:34.276+10:002010-01-26T00:58:34.276+10:00Wow, this is one, just one thing I don't like ...Wow, this is one, just one thing I don't like about UAE - the flats...<br /><br />Great to see pictures of your new home :) You're putting that camera to good use!<br /><br />It indeed would be so nice going back to a verandah, garden and all...Rakeshhttp://rakeshzone.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
