Of housemates and neighbours

BlueBelle's telling tail gives away her hideout
under the kitchen cupboard




Caught in hiding


 


Famished and weary Bluebelle heads to the garden and perishes :(





There's always something fresh for sale at neighbour Nancy's
(coconuts, pineapples, mango, avocado)

Joy delivers exactly that with her cheery greetings,
fresh oranges and ground nuts

Mr tailor man comes calling at the compound
This wee neighbour comes running out of nowhere and
clamps her arms around my knees with a big hug.
"What's your name?" 
"Patricia." 
"Patricia? That's my name too."
A new best friend.

Welcome. Good morning. Happy Easter. So glad you'll be seeing monkeys and rain forest as you had hoped to. Glad you're making friends, experiencing everything, and recording it so well for us. Anything you need that I can send? Apart from a shaken-not-stirred chocolate martini? Enjoy the adventure & keep well.
