== Before It Happened (Day 0) ==

It was a pretty normal day. The only unusual things were that I had leftovers at work (chicken and carrots, and shredded beef) which I don't do that often (because I have my smoothie).

When I came home for dinner, Julie'd made some lovely prawn moilee. She's great at it. It's very authentically South Indian and I've enjoyed it many a time. It was positively delicious. She'd also made some bitter-gourd chips in the air fryer. These are hella spicy and we usually make them slow fried in the cast iron but this was decent.

At the end of the whole thing I decided I wanted some mangoes. We had some kesar mangoes left over from when I hit the New India Bazaar the previous week and some champagne mangoes as well.

The kesar were ripe to over-ripe and delicious. I also had one of the riper champagne mangoes (a poor imitation of the real stuff). Around then is when I started feeling itchy.

I went up to finish up some stuff regarding the wedding and setting up my personal contacts management stuff but it got pretty bad around 2 AM. I did manage to fall asleep, though.
