Thirteen on Thursday

Hello everyone on this awful Thursday - my Meowmie's football team, Chelsea, are in turmoil - their manager Jose Mouriniho has walked/been pushed out and now they have no decent manager! This means they are unlikely to have a good season now which means Meowmie will be a bit sweary at the weekends.

In other news, i continue to vomit every day or so, and only the once...but apart from that I am eating really well and I am very much normal and 'myself'.

Now, my thirteen for Thursday is for Meowmie cos I know she has been dreaming of holidays and visiting India again - but she can't at the moment cos she has to take care of me. All these pictures are taken in an ancient Hindu religious site called Hampi, in India, which meowmie loved! Hope you like them.

The kids in India work hard - this little girl was helping her father set up his herb stand at the local market before she went to school. It was 7am!


Be careful when you stop to put something in a bin - sometimes monkeys sit in them scavaging and you could get a nasty surprise!


Some pilgrims visiting the ancient Hindu temples.


Another homeless Indian kitten - I reckon this one has got a belly full of worms! Meowmy said that it belonged with the other ones who had set up home under the shoe-stand, by the lovely restaurant mentioned in an earlier post, so it may just have been overfed!


A troop of wild monkeys at Monkey Temple. Meowmy had a packet of biscuits in her bag and about 5 of them jumped on her and clambered up and down her body trying to find the food - they could smell it! Meowmie was very scared.


Just a lovely temple picture!


An Indian Holy Man - also called a Sadhu.


A frequent dinner companion! This fly is licking a grain of sugar.


These were stables...for the king's elephants!


Rush hour in an Indian town (view from the side of a motorised rickshaw)


This snake was waiting for Meowmie outside an Indian toilet (basically a hole in the ground in a hut). Meowmie bent down and started taking pictures, just after she took this one the snake flared it's neck...it was a COBRA!!! An Indian man ran up to my Meowmie screaming for her to move away. I am glad she did! If you bigify and look carefully you can just see the neck starting to flare out.


These temples is musical! Each column plays a musical note when tapped - Meowmie said it was truly beautiful. In the Olden Days a person would stand by each column and form an orchestra and play for the King!


Meowmie took a picture of this little boy and his parents, they were pilgrims visitng the Hindu shrines - they were wearing their best clothes specially. This was the first time the young boy had ever had a photo taken - hence his look of bewilderment.
