Can u imagine buying Benji t-shirts in Perth for $3.00 (not second hand!)?? We just did, in Bangalore. Decent cotton ones. Suited for the Perth weather. Went to a little mall near Brigade Road called Safina Plaza. There's some sort of handicrafts exhibition going on.......Joyz kinda went crazy and we've got some really groovy stuff, for the house and gifts for folks in Perth. Nice exchange rate, but Westpac slugs you these ridiculous foreign credit card usage fees - AAAAAAARGHHHH!!!!

The pounds appear to be staying off.....more or less. I've figured that if I keep the carbs, dairy and snacky stuff to a minimum and do a bit of walking every day, tis quite easy to keep things in control.

Nice to see my toes again.

Wintering in Bangalore is interesting......a far cry from the hot, humid and sweat-soaked week in Kerala.
There's a bit of a nip in the air, especially at night. I prefer the heat....at least, that way, I could sweat off the extra baggage! This way, I'm reduced to taking the stairs instead of the lift to the sixth floor in order to work off the fab food.
Sigh.
