It’s raining.
It’s lovely weather. The clouds are stacked up high, layered on top of each other. Cool breezes complete the feeling. I’m sitting at Manu’s house, doing nothing much. His sister’s getting married in a couple of days, so we’re roaming about occasionally, doing stuff like ordering 600 biscuits, checking the hotel rooms, buying scented candles, the works.
My knee is much better, but it’s still not fine. That will take some more time. I’m hoping that by the end of this month I should be back to normal and be able to run around. Let’s see how that goes. Walking around is less painful now, thankfully.
So what’s keeping me amused? Wimbledon, of course. Sitting on my couch, with something nice to eat nearby, and the weather mirroring England, what could be better? Especially when there’s such great tennis on show. Serena’s fightback yesterday after getting cramp, Nadal vs Soderling, Djokovic, it’s all here.
10 July 2007
Wimbledon is over, and Federer did what he does, he won. The wedding is over, and now I am looking ahead to my leaving home. Right now I am listening to 29 Palms and singing along. I used to do that a while back with a pal, and it’s still fun, though I miss my friend then.
It’s still raining, and the weather is lovely. My knee is getting better by the day, and I’m now able to walk for longish periods without it hurting. The signs are good that I will be able to play by the end of this month. Of course, I will be in Bangalore by then, but I’m hoping that I can get some sort of physical activity going then. Perhaps some gentle tennis, maybe? Who knows. I will probably be too busy to breathe, even!
I’ve been setting up the computer at home for Mom to use. I’ve installed Ubuntu, since Mom does not care about the OS, she just needs the thing to work so she can access the internet. And remote access is much much easier with Ubuntu, so if I need to fix something for Mom, or show her how something works, I can.
I’m missing a few people, quite a bit more than I expected. It’s funny, cause when I was in college, I’d sorta taken them for granted, and gotten used to their presence. Now that it’s not there, just feels weird.
Anyway, thats the update. Nothing much happening, just making some lists for what I need to get.
And slightly depressed, for reasons that will go unmentioned here.
