WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING
1.
Amber and I spent most of week as homebodies. Doing little errands around the house, watching cricket, and going out to nearby places for coffee. We finally laid hands on the bird matching game that Prateek and Rhea bought for us during their trip to Australia, and played that in the afternoons. I used to be good at this sort of game when I was a kid, but I keep losing to Amber whenever we play.

Purneetha and Harshay came over on Christmas eve. I had fun putting together a little cheese board, making soup and burgers. It was a relaxed evening with lots of chatter, and it was nice to catch up with them after a while.
A couple of days later, we had my parents’ over for an evening of baking cookies.

After weeks, we went to Nature Soul Shop to pick up our groceries in person — that’s always fun. We got food packed from their restaurant, and Amber and I both got our favourites.
On the weekend, we took my parents winter shopping. Pret-a-Manger does a vegan hot chocolate, so we could all have a drink together afterwards, which was neat.
