In at the deep end...

Okay...so the regular Asha doctor who I was going to sit in with tomorrow so that I can get orientated can't be there because her daughter is unwell!  So I will be doing the surgery on my own - and teaching a med student too!  Ah well... we'll see how it goes!


In other news:  Freddy was responding to a friend in the car on the way back from church this morning who enquired about a party that he was planning.  His response was...Ah! We're waiting for the weather to improve!  Apparently the weather "improves" when it rains in India!  Alas, as you can see - the weather still hasn't improved:

that's centigrade by the way!

I should introduce my flatmates: Jake on the right from Essex; Bianca on the left from New Jersey; both these are teaching English in the slums.  Sam is a med student from Northern Ireland.

This road is interesting for 2 reasons: Firstly it is in Delhi and has no moving traffic.  Secondly, I am told that on every Monday evening between 6 and 11pm it transforms into a bustling fruit and veg market!  And it is mango season. And they are delicious. And you can buy them  for about 5 for a pound!

Tonight all the flatmates are going out to the Chinese restaurant just around the corner which comes recommended...
