________________
Shaji, with Dalila his wife, and Anu the houseboy, take good care of my home,
And of me.
Yesterday, Shaji’s birthday provided an opportunity for us all to celebrate,
And for me to express my gratitude.
Shaji and Dalila have kept me in comfort, and my home in good order, since I bought the house, two and a half years ago.
They respond to my idiosyncrasies, bizarre European ways, and occasional health glitch, with patient kindness.
Happy Birthday Shaji!
And a heart-felt
Thank You.

Birthday blessings to your friend.
Chocolate ???
The cake was pink – and strawberry flavoured!
Anu & I asked Dalila which sort we should order. But yesterday, on closer questioning, it turned out that strawberry was her favourite, not his!
Many Happy Returns Shaji.
I think Shaji had a good day – he’s still smiling!
I’m so sorry that I missed Shaji’s birthday. He obviously had a good day.
It was considered a successful celebration!
