Seeing mom

Was at my dance fitness class today. And they make you dance in front of mirrors and today made me stand at the front (cos I wasn't moving enough :)). And I could see mom... in the shape of my face, in the upper arms, even in the look of my elbow... It's lovely to see yourself growing into another person :).

Environmental consciousness

This is hard. I want to save the environment - I find it perfectly sensible and logical to do and many things aren't that hard. However it's hard to do right sometimes without a lot of knowledge.

For example:
- save water - check. So should I use wet wipes more than water to clean hands?
- save paper - check. So should I use like cloth napkins to dry my hands after I use the bathroom?
- save electricity - check. So is paper to dry my hands worse for the environment or the electricity to wash the napkins? And of course this is about the scale of a whole bunch of people and not just me, but which is more harmful?
- and should I use sanitizer to save water and paper and electricity? How much water and electricity was used to create sanitizer?

How does this work!!??

If I could look like this :)

Thinner, younger and with different eyes :). What photoshop can do to your face!!!!

New phone

It's that time of the year yes when Apple makes a new phone and makes me all excited. I tell myself I won't stand in line and pay crazy money. And then there's no line, the phone I want is available and in the size I want. And it's comparatively reasonable (or I've change my definition of reasonable a LOT).

And so I have a new phone. Smaller. Black - after many years. I've had bad luck with black phones before... And so light...

Seats

Whose dumb idea was the seat with the headrest leaning forward!?? In what planet is that comfortable for a human being? What height so we have to be to find that good? I always get a migraine when I have to sit in seats like that. In a car I usually take the headrest off; can't do that in a bloody airplane :).

Phase I of the house

Stuff comes from Mumbai and Kiaan's room gets done.










The new bed was delivered on the same day - see the cute little bedside tables that just hold enough :).

The empty house

House when we had just seen it/moved into it. Fairly empty.

The other part of the 'L' of the hall:

Will post photos soon for the house as it gets done up.
