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.

Hi Linda, hope you also have a truly great Christmas.
ReplyDeleteaw... looks like a cozy pile of love. Merry Christmas to you, too! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope yours is doubly merry.
ReplyDeleteAfter our holiday dinner, I feel much like the fella on the lower right!
Max-e,
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm afraid I ate too much chocolate for it to be 'truly great', but I'm beginning to recover now!
Biobabbler,
It looks as if you need all the cozy you can get right now. Hope your chickens (particularly featherless Fanny) are coping with the snow.
Melissa,
I hope you're now feeling less mongoose-like and have successfully demolished the leftovers (turkey sandwiches?).
Hey Lynda
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I have not got back to you I have been in SA for 3 weeks on a cruise!
I love the pics of the animals they are relly nice!
Kristen,
ReplyDeleteA cruise sounds fun, although I always figured I'd get bored being stuck on a boat for so long. Did you get much of a chance to disembark and explore?
