Mezze Moments

A week spent largely unpacking boxes shifting them from one room to another and feeling very hot. Only momemts of relief were dipping into the pool when we had a chance and then simply soaking in the noises and the scenes going on. Mercifully where we are there are no horns only the beautiful sounds of birdsong, peacocks calling and bee eaters swooping in kamikaze flights into the pool while we are in it. They too are hot. The Green parrots screech by and the drongos sit displaying their very fine forked tail. A birder's paradise.
The rest, well the rest needs a little patience and a little more work, the washing machine that doesnt like soap, a brand new microwave that arrived without a manual and with a catastrophic fault, the fan that the electrician asked if I had tape for. At the moment it is hanging but glitters warmly from the foil that is wrapped around its base. I hope you can see the intricate detail in the picture.We live in hope of wifi having achieved Tata Sky status. The promises roll in, the waiting whitens my hair.
