Change of scene

Ah, flowers and trees and birds and fresh fruit! I have spent the last couple days at the compound of one of our subcontractors, soaking in all the normal-life. They have a lovely big garden with chairs and big cages full of parakeets. And they have a cook! Who uses okra and serves fresh fruit with every meal! It has been delightful.

In other unrelated news, a little sparrow somehow got into my room this morning, scaring the bajesus out of me. I told him he woke me up much too early and that I couldn't deal with the idea of dealing with him myself. Furthermore, if I had to call the housekeeper to take care of it, I didn't think either of us would be happy with that outcome. He was very reasonable and spent the next hour flying from my curtain rod to the top of the dresser and back, and then as I dozed back to sleep he somehow made it out the same air vent hole he came in through. Smart bird.
