It's Saturday morning 8am the 3rd of March. We're all up and dressed and in our old clothes. Because today is HOLI. It's the Hindu spring festival, a festival of joy and colour. Which in reality means that everybody goes out from 9am and throws colour at each other, it can be chalks, paints, coloured water, any kind of colour, but apparently it gets messy and is not for the faint hearted.
We have been warned that it can get aggressive and foreigners can become a favoured target.
So one of the other parents at the school has invited us to join her family for a bit of Indian hospitality and to play HOLI. Us girls have decided that we'd like to see Raymie in pink so we've plotted our plan of colour attack. Our plan is to try and stay off the streets, so we'll be making a sheepish escape from the house and hoping that no colour fanatics spot us in transit. We'll take photos and keep you posted. In the meantime HAPPY HOLI.

Hi ya Watson Clan,
Well did any one catch you Shona or the kiddo's with the paint.
It sound like great fun, so long as it doesn't get out of hand - I hope if you did end up like a rainbow, some photoes were taken.
