Peets coffee received!
A colleague from Pfizer, Narender, was visiting his family in India. My friend HQ asked if I wanted anything. The only thing I am really missing besides my family and friends is coffee. Havent been able to find good coffee. HQ bought me two pounds of one of my favorite coffees, gave it to Narender and I received two pounds today! Can't wait to have it tomorrow morning! Thank you VERY much HQ and Narender! Narender arrived in Delhi on The weekend I was visiting The Taj Mahal and didn't get to see him which is very disappointing as it would be wonderful to see a USA collegue. I spoke with him and we will try to get together during his stay.
I am actually doing well. After walking home from yoga I stopped on the way home to buy a few Mangoes,there are many different kinds and I cannot say which are best yet. Hopefully I can continue to do the taste test for many more weeks! Only the fruit and vegetables in season are sold In the open markets which is where I am doing most of my shopping. It is great to be able to walk outside my apt and within a few blocks get everything I need.
On a walk near my apartment I saw two puppies, maybe six weeks old. I am nervous about touching them because they are really dirty. Today I bought a box of dog biscuits and am looking forward to see the pups agAin and give them a biscuit or two. I will start carrying a few in my bag for those special moments when a dog looks kind and loving. Many of the "wild" dogs are very independent and not interested in people at all. I do see people walking pets on a leash. Funny as most of the dogs are labs. I have never seen any dogs looking like German Shepards.
Work is picking up. I'll let you kow about that in another posting.
I am doing better.
I miss you all!

And now that you have caffeine on hand, your work productivity is sure to increase! Just in time given that your workload is picking up. Miss you Sue and glad to hear you received one of your favorite treats! Hugs, Heather
ReplyDeleteHi Heather,
DeleteI thank you for offering to ship me coffee but I am now set for a bit. Hopefully someone else from the US will want to visit and can carry along another one or two pounds. How about you visiting? It seems that I have had quite a different experience than your friend Katie as I have not been too uncomfortable with India. The Taj is a must to see. How is your running going? Hope you are well.
I enjoyed reading your post Sue. Two things you love a lot were covered... coffee & dogs! Kinda touched me how you are going to buy some dog treats. I say Eric today. He gave me the garlic scapes. I will either share with the neighbor or cook them up at home. Stay well and as you say... "Hugs", Christopher
ReplyDeleteHi Christopher, I am glad you got the scapes and they didn't go to waste. Enjoy them. I think that I am starting to feel more at home, it's probably the coffee and my new puppy friends. I just came back from a walk and they were there. Much to my surprise there were 5 instead of 3 which I saw the first time. They loved the treats! I hope I am not doing a bad thing feeding them, I asked my coworker in the office and he staid it was OK for me to feed them. Ohhh, they were so cute. Thanks for communicating on the blog it's nice to hear people's impressions of how I am describing my life. Bye, love, sue
ReplyDeletehi Sue, :)
ReplyDeleteDitto Chris' remarks. I just remembered you never gave us an address we can mail you care packages to if we wanted to and what would be ok to send and if there are rules and such to that. So write back re; that. Have fun with the pups. Love the photos and all you are writing...Love ya, Jill
My address is

I think it is really expensive to send a package, on my end also as I have to pay taxes on it. Thanks for the thought but I am doing ok with what I have. A letter and pictures would be nice :-).
How's the garden? That I miss. Today I was in a park and started dead heading some flowers. It felt good to touch nature, I then quickly washed my hands.
Thanks for your posts.
Love, sue
Sue, Jacek says he's coming late summer early fall. He'll probably be able to bring whatever you need. Love your posts! Be safe.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, nice to get your posts. I just Skyped with Jacek last night, new technology for him. He would like to come and I told him he is welcome to stay at my apartment. Yes, I will definitely ask for him to bring things if needed. I am doing well, finally feeling a bit more comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with you at home and work.
Jacek did mention that he gave you my blog address and I am happy that you are reading it. Tell others I say Hello.
