The lay of the land in our Compound...

Blue skies this morning as Tika and I set off for a walk around the compound where we live.

I am still getting to know the 'lay of the land'. It has been pretty quiet with people away

for summer vacation. I am starting to notice more people out and about and look

forward to meeting 'the neighbours'.

Tika has had a trim recently to help her adjust to the hot and humid climate here.

They gave her a feather duster for a tail...she has been waving it proudly.

I wandered out of the compound for an adventure...more on that here.
