Blue Bikes

We had rainy weekend here. I went nowhere as I got bad cough and hubby wasn’t at home. My eldest brother has moved to this home since three weeks ago. He takes commuter train or bus to reach his work place. It must be tiring but being able to meet his wife and kids every day is surely priceless. We also have a new family member; my cousin allowed one of her cats for us. Mocca -the cat- cheers up our days!

Some sellers here still use bikes to carry their merchandises.
