The car has been cleaned, dusted and swept clean. Fuel tank filled, tire pressures checked, hydraulic jack mechanism learnt.
Dogs have been watching their Pedigree get packed, combs and brushes and hair bands being stuffed into pockets, the dog biscuits jar being pushed into the bag….their meals have been packed..the back seat has been covered with that colorful rug.
I have kept my knitting ( that always comes first), the woollies and my driving cushion.
I have also kept shorts, T shirts and my flimsiest footwear too!!! YES, I am driving down to Delhi, gadding off to Goa and catching up with friends and family too!
I also attend a few very special gatherings!! Excitement is in the air, and I am taking my notebook with me. Hope to catch you all and share my days and evenings.
Ten days of being absent from Ranikhet. Ten days of not waking up to see the crystal clear, blue sky–the snow-capped mountain peaks–the frosted breathing of the doggies and me, and yes–that amazing electric blanket in the bed!
Ten days of travelling, of driving…of hugging my dear ones, of spending time with my father and catching up with that special group of people in my life–my medical college gang!
