On Sept. 23 I went in to the bazar to buy a new pair of shoes since my fine Italian shoe were in dire need of repairs and I needed an extra pair while the repair work was being done. I bought a new pair for an excellent price of Rs 250/- ($ 6.00) but I had scarcely gone a hundred metres before this new pair started to fall apart. So back I went to the shoe store where I was able to exchange these cheap shoes for something better plus Rs 50/-. On the way home I stopped at a confectionary to buy some sweets as I expected to entertain one of the neighbours in a day or so. I ate one of the sweets which was enough to precipitate a bout of tummy trouble. This was the last of three incidents in September.
Earlier I was in a collision with a scooter and fell on the roadway getting scrapes and bruises to my left shoulder and elbow, knees and small puncture wounds to both palms and two fingers one on each hand. Luckily there were no concussion, sprains or broken bones. I am now fully recovered. The cost to repair my bike was about 80 cents (CAN). It was my fault as I did not signal that I was turning since I though no one was behind me.
Then I had another small mishap. In the night I stepped into a ditch which should have been covered and took another tumble. The damage this time was limited to a few scrapes to my right hand which was holding on to my umbrella. I am pretty well recoverd from this as well. Hopefully I will avoid such dramas in October. The good news is that the weather has turned and the temperature is quite pleasant in the mornings and evenings and the sky clear all day long. This is the start of the best season. I will be going to Sri Lanka for a conference and will take a short holiday after that. So long for now.
