Life of an army wife

A chilled winter evening ,a cup of steaming tea, knitting to keep my hands warm and occupied, all three babies curled up on the sofas and Diwan I wait for my man to get back home .Two huge German shepherds and one tiny labby a new addition to our family give me company while the cooks are busy in the kitchen readying the evening meal.The husband sends a message reminding me of the little ones vaccination saying he would see me in ten minutes . For a Fauji it is normal to say I will see you in 20.15 hours dressed for a party at 20.00 hours ! In ten minutes I am down in the parking in my warm tracks,double sweaters and a muffler with Romeo cuddled up in his shawl and off we go to the vet. On our way back he asks me if I would like to join the Officers in the mess for a post games drink. After two hours of badminton , sweating in their tee's and shorts they get together in the bar of the Officers Mess and their drinks of choice are served by the bar man ,a ritual followed through out the year.
With less than ten minutes to change from a "warm dressed for snuggling to watch TV "to a diva in my saree and stilettos I walk out of the room perfectly turned out with fours pairs of eyes watching me. My fur babies know they are in for extra treats as we tuck them up in their warm room with a variety of treats placed all over.
These pics were clicked in the Officers Mess with 5 officers curious to know about the sareepact and appreciating the initiative . It was an interesting evening with discussion of work, scotch , and the sareepact!
