Four signs that summer is upon us:
1. The terrace that our 7th floor flat is just under heats up nicely during the day - causing our bedroom to turn into something like a tandoor-oven at night. We wake up having tossed and turned all night with pillows wet with sweat (and woe if we have a power-cut sometime at 3 am). Having the fan on full blast all night long does not make much of a difference. Hence Sheba and I take refuge with the kids in their room (which for some reason is cooler).
2. Asha and Enoch's final 'exams'. Spread nicely over 3 weeks. Fun times till April 9th. To be fair - they have done wonderfully well so far - and do not stress at all!
3. Tickets booked well in advance for our yearly pilgrimage to the blessed coolness of Mussoorie. We have confirmed tickets this year - for the 14th of May (D.v.) returning on the 29th of May (ditto).
4. The first mango of the season was eaten by Asha and Enoch today. Thanks John and Nalini for this luscious piece of saffron sweetness!
