Birdwatching

This morning we had a lot of activity in our garden.



There are two types of extremely small bird, grey/brow ones and ones with a blue matelic chest.

There is also a reasonable amount of birds of pray, which we can spot above the valley. This might cause concerns if and when we get a kitten. Luckely our garden is not very open from the are, because of trees and walls.

Last week we had a bird in the kitchen! Judging be the easiness of the catching and the time it took for it to disappear we think it was hurt. We do not know the faith of our feathered friends.

Hazel went around the garden with the gardener. Asked him to grow herbs (separate from non-edibles) and among other things if we can have orchides. To our happy surprise we noticed an orchide in our garden, we do not know where it came from. We hope he did not pay money for it. The gardener gave us a pricelist of a local supplier. He thinks it's expensive, but for our standards it's very cheap.

Ziet er allemaal super uit ... heerlijk je eigen huis met je eigen spullen ... nu de auto nog. Heb je wel al foto's van de auto?
Kreeg gisteren jullie kerstkaart ... thanks. Vrees dat de mijne ruim na Kerst arriveert ... moet nog wennen aan het extreem vooraf plannen van post (vond 1 dag na Sinterklaas al vroeg, maar ja daar red je het niet mee naar Kigali). Komt er in januari al een club Nederlandse familie logeren? Wilde een nieuw yoga-tijdschrift voor Haze scoren(incl. dvd), maar bedacht dat het zwaarder is dan 50gr ... wil jullie geen kosten bezorgen ... misschien kan het meeliften met bezoekers. Ik ga aan de kerstkransjes na ruzie met mijn modem. dikke knuffel Nienke
