New...

Yesterday after church, we went and checked out fridge models. Zeroed in on a Samsung 280 litre frostfree model. It came at 7 pm after V completed the hire-purchase formalities.
Gave my old Whirlpool fridge to my Tamilian maid (on right, Mira looks frail after the illness) especially as she stood me in good stead these past 2 weeks when I was maidless.
A food festival at church meant that we didnt have to cook lunch. Bought kappa-fish curry, biriyani, neyyappam and vattayappam, which saw us through at breakfast and lunch. Went out after 10 pm to have Juice at a malloo chai shop.
Today the new local maid joined duty. But she is v. slow. In spite of mom and me helping out, it took her ever so long to finish cooking. I just hope she will be more efficient once she gets the hang of the place. Comes around 9 and will stay till I reach home. Which might turn out to be difficult , since we will have to battle kids on our own after a tiring day at work. Let me see how long I can endure this.
I am coming late to work everyday. Inspite of having her, I could leave home only by 12 noon. Mom might leave in a day or two – I have to book her ticket.
