Ten things to do in Delhi when it’s 42 degrees outside

  1. Take a complete break from planning and running the BASPCAN 10th International Congress
  2. Visit Qutub Minar early before it gets too hot
  3. Babysit Lois’ grandchildren
  4. Meet up with a friend from Manchester (thanks Steve)
  5. Browse the stalls at Dilli Haat
  6. Relax with a couple of good books (Tolstoy and PD James for starters)
  7. Try to identify some of the birds outside (I think we’ve seen Drongos, Bee-Eaters, Red-vented Bulbuls, Lapwings, a Hornbill, and Summer birds among the usual Mynahs, Parakeets, Crows and Pigeons and the majestic soaring Kites)
  8. Build a den with Maya and Talia
  9. Build a train track with Toby
  10. Write a project proposal for the National Council of Family Affairs in Jordan (well you wouldn’t want to get bored would you!)
