How is everyone doing? Well it is a rainy and lazy day in Colombo today. I wanted to sleep till late but my angel got up early and didn't let me sleep. I am simply loving the weather its really cool and cuddly :):). I let mum do the cooking today cos I am enjoying the weather and doing absolutely nothing..
I dint get the time to blog at all towards the end of August. One of my cousin met with an accident on her way back to Oor and lost her 2 years old son :( :(. I had to run to Oor and now she is admitted in the hospital so been extremely busy.
