Just catching up

It's been a long, hot (for Mysore) summer. Last year there were lashings of thunderstorms all through May. This year, just a couple (albeit one with hailstones! yahoo). It's mid June now, and except for 3 days of cool rain 2 weeks ago, nothing. Rained again last evening.
Jogging around Kukkarahallai lake, we were upset and surprised to find a major stink from almost all of the periphery, coupled with a thick, slimy, ooze. Really bad. And relieved to read about, the next day, action being taken to clean it up. How we hope that Mysore will grow with some semblance of grace and planning.
Business has been slow. And promises to continue that way. An upside of that of course, is the long, slow, lazy days with each other and Mysore. It's been too hot to go cycling, though.
