Women's Voices

Manjit and Bilvirik, our new Sikh neighbours invited us and Steph for afternoon chai, and a huge batch of vegetable pakoras. Lots of chat, and we got shown round the huge house, which an interior decorator will work on while they are away in England, including a new wooden floor. They have such a good view from their balcony of our house, the Lake, the castle, and the town.

- two more lovely women I am privileged to know
- going off for dinner at Ermelinda and Cecílio's in a bit, to catch up before we leave, and that makes another wonderful woman
