About Me
- mainly mongoose (Lynda)
- Having spent 16 years living in remote places in the African bush studying the social behaviour of mongooses, my own is non-existent. I survived 8 years in the desert, at the Kalahari Meerkat Research Project (i.e. Meerkat Manor), and am now doing research on dwarf mongooses in the lowveld of NE South Africa.

What a beautiful photo! Does this mean your keyboard will not work until it has dried out? I'm sorry! I have children to create these sorts of disasters, instead of cats. (They don't shed on the furniture or eat gerbils, but they do cause other problems.)
ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteDrying is now complete ('til next time!).
Give me shedding any day.
Cats......what can I say. we have three of them and are soon to get a fourth. The tabby likes to help with me with my typing, but we have so far managed to avoid any spills.
ReplyDeleteMax-e,
ReplyDeleteMay your spill-free state long continue.
It may have been a catastrophe [and for that you have my deepest sympathies] but the photo is gorgeous! Talk about inviting...i would love to have a desk/window like that here at my dirt patch!
ReplyDeleteMeggs,
ReplyDeleteGreen becomes very alluring when you live in a desert. But windows and 'work' don't sit well together...
