HERE I AM! I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK!
The peaceful air of this quiet Sunday morning was shattered by the ringing of my husband cell phone! The alarm was going off at our business premises, and the incoming call was from our security company saying that they suspect a break-in!! The time 5,27am!!!
Ten minutes later my husband called the security company to find out that it was a break-in but when the call out car arrived the suspects had already left! My husband had a quick shower and drove the ten minutes to see what was happening.
He is still not back as he is busy with the police!
It is another cloudy day here in Umhlanga, which is situated about 15 minutes drive north from the greater Durban area of a normally sunny South Africa! The wind is picking up and I wonder if the kite surfers will be able to harness it later on, down at kite beach just north of the Sun Coast Casino and just south of our famous river mouth the Umgeni, which is commonly known as the Blue Lagoon!!
But all is well here at home! The birds are still busy making their nest under the eaves of our patio! This is the 3rd within the month of November. The first one blew down. It had 3 little eggs in it which cracked and splattered on the beautiful porcelain tiles! The little sparrows then attempted to make another nest on the other side under the eaves this one blew away within a few days. And yesterday they began making another home in the same spot as the first nest had been. Every day busy they are bringing pieces of grass most of which fall down the minute they stuff them into the gap in the eaves and litter the patio! They never take the fallen piece and try again they fly off and find another more suitable piece to use! Never tiring of their daily work, and already the nest has taken good shape.
The butterflies are hopping and skipping amongst the plants beside the pool and the water from the little waterfall at the pool is splashing merrily! The sea is a beautiful blue/grey and appears to be calm and placid for the time being! Even though it rained during the night, the road and wooden sun-deck is dry and it is altogether a glorious morning!
And my husband is on his way home; it is 7,30am!
