During his last visit to Oulu last November, Tony bought a barber's electric shaver.
Last week, Joanna was obviously enjoying her new profesion as the family barber, Tirupathi style. (Tirupathi is at the base of the Venkatachala (Venkata Hill) where the Sri Venkateswara Temple is located on the seventh peak. It is the sacred place for all religions. It is situated near Chennai, in the State of Andhra Pradesh. Many many millions of devotees climb the hill each year to reach the temple so as to shave off one's hair as an offering, penance or sacrifice. In the case of babies, it is much like the "Christening" functioning in certain Christian sects.)
Daniel seems to be especially enjoying his new style. He had such lovely locks, that it is hard to believe that Joanna heartlessly sheared them off!
Samuel is quite used to being in this state, so off he went on his pursuits - climbing a (banyan?) tree in Leazes Park in Newcastle!
'Annikki and I do miss all three of our grandchildren. We are counting the hours for Asha to reach Oulu, and then we will be counting the hours for Daniel and Samuel to get back to their home!
