Saturdays out here are like Sundays in the UK. The big shops are open, but it's nominally a day of rest. Our great plan was to go to the Patan museum this morning, as we can walk there from our house (Dinesh doesn't work on a Saturday) - not for the history lessons and artefacts, you understand, but because it has a great cafe and clean toilets. But it started to rain, which actually was a good thing as kids are so exhausted after their very exciting first week at school, and furthermore Hubby is grumpy because they woke us up at five thirty this morning and he still has a cricked neck, that it would probably have turned into a bit of a nightmare. Right now, sixty per cent of the family are asleep (Hubby and twins), Son is watching DVD so the monsoon is a good thing, for preventing us from thinking that we have to go out and do something, and allowing us all to droog about instead. Have plans to go and see another temple tomorrow, a bit like the monkey temple, but without the monkeys. Kids seemed a bit underwhelmed at the prospect of a temple without monkeys, but we'll give it a go.
Hubby has just rearranged the living room (which made Son cry because in the process he destroyed a special secret hiding place between the coffee table and the sofa - think when I've finished bringing up kids I should work for the UN because there was almost as much diplomacy involved in sorting that debacle out as there was earlier on when Twin 1 destroyed Son's special secret mountain of cushions), which handily enough has left a great expanse of floor space, just begging for a nice big Tibetan rug. I also need to go and buy a red sari for Teej; I'm not entirely sure what Teej is, but I do know that I have to have a red sari for it, and everyone else has already bought theirs. I'm hoping that it will involve some booze and tasty Nepali snacks. Must go, there is a bottom that needs wiping (not mine)...
