and the trip goes on...

The first few days of this trip haven't exactly gone to plan.  At first, the news that our trip was to be delayed by five days made me think "ooh I'll get loads of little jobs done that I didn't have time to do before I left".  So, I have uploaded facebook photos, and have a clear camera memory card.  I have more music on my mp3 player and I've invested in a day backpack.  After those jobs, however, the reality is unfortunately that instead of Delhi, I have daytime TV.  Instead of sauntering around India in flip flops I'm curled up on the sofa, wearing the only warm clothes I have, wrapped up under a blanket watching episode after episode of daytime soaps.  Neighbours is followed by Home and Away, which is followed by Hollyoaks and then Eastenders.  And what is worse is that these soaps are broken up with the rediscovery of Jeremy Kyle.  I'd forgotten that such titles as 'did my boyfriend sleep with my daughter' even existed.  The highlights, and the exercise, of the day are the hourly cups of tea.  Life has seriously sunk to a new low.
