Metamorphosis Ripple effect.

The newly named ‘Radical’ needs protecting from the sun, rain, trees and other animate and inanimate objects.
First stage: waterproof cover found after the third attempt. Dont ask.

Nothing is straightforward, it’s India.

The old velvety inside of the roof, sadly couldn’t be retained.

Sowbaghya aka SB gave it to the paper collection man as scrap.

Next …

… job is to clear the garage and obstacles (plants, furniture, two wheelers) from outside, to make the drive drivable.

I’ve accumulated so much stuff.

In my defence, I have lived here the longest in my whole life. That’s fifteen years.

One step closer.

I leave for the U.K. in two weeks and plan for radical to live there. Given the regular downpours we’ve had she should have moved in previously

I’m well suited to India.

I’m expert at putting jobs off.

The beauty arrives

Manjula’s Car rises again.

I bought it for her ten years ago.

Satish and I had searched Karnataka and eventually found it in Mandya District (near Srirangapatnam).

We needed it, as due to her health Manjula couldn’t safely and comfortably continue to ride pillion on my two wheelers.

We joked that not unlike the Bollywood movie — ‘Driving Miss Daisy” there was a chauffeur ( in our case a white old, not a black guy) and not an aged white woman as passenger but a brown ageless Indian beauty — my MAnjula.

It’s arrived at our house now….
