Yesterday’s visit to Archana ended with me promising to get another set of x-rays of my mouth and head. I decide to do it sooner rather than later.

Sanu collects me at 17:30 and we head for Travancore Scans where I get seen to instantly, and then get given the hard copy ten minutes later. We head for Lulu mall, which lives close by, so I can stock up on groceries.

We have noticed that the space outside the hypermarket regularly turns into a specialist market selling saucepans and ironware, or suitcases and luggage, or plastic plates and boxes.

Today, somewhat to my surprise, the space houses only Hot Wheels. Without meaning to I immediately think that Auo would have loved this. I go to look but I cannot get through the entrance where burly Indian men struggle to get past each other.
