    Today's been a day of relatives with a bit of shopping thrown in!

    We took a few Ubers today (top of the range "premium" rides as is obvious from the pic below 😆)

    In the evening we went to Dhun's cousin Chhaya's for dinner (Chhaya is an amazing warm, lovely lady who we spent a lot of time with when we last came).
