Safely here............good trip AFTER successfully negotiating CDG (Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport) which I have to say is possibly the most IMPOSSIBLE LAGE airport on this Planet.
While reading my Book on the 'plane (Swedish Writer) I had to laugh because one of the main protagonists says: Please whatever you do, don't book us through CDG!"
Warning to you all......avoid it if you can.
Stayed one night in Colombo where I had 3 Curry's in one day! Yum.

The Manager of our property came to pick us up to take us home......good easy drive because not too much traffic going out of Colombo at 10;30am. (Usually Colombo is a 'nightmare' to negotiate. So much Building, too many cars and Tuk-tuks,bicycles, motorbikes etc.
Stopped on the new Motorway for coffee::::::::
Saw this adorable "kitten" outside the doors just lying there, it was so hot. Jammed inside for plastic cup with water.......everyone thinking I am mad BUT the Singhalese always are kind. She drank the whole container.
Something about this 'kitten' just got to me.
So zoomed into the small Supermarket, found a cardboard box and Sudu (white.in Sinhala) is now home with us.
Came home and were cooked a wonderful curry dinner by our Manager's wife.....ecstasy. Re-united with our dog Kalu (black in Sinhala) who has stayed beside me for the last few days.
That Evening Kalu chased 3 dogs off our property (lots of stray dogs in SL) he got REALLY badly bitten on his eye and mouth.
Vet came the next day........shots for Kalu who has an EXTREME dislike of Vets!
I take him to see Sudu my 'kitten!'
Kitten is a very small cat and is about to give birth in 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How I manage to do these things...............Karma.
She is safely tucked away from Kalu (who chases everything in sight) and we are introducing them slowly to each other!
Yeah well.....my life!

An added aside: Our Manager Nilantha his wife Pathmi and their son Hari (9yrs) have built a house on our Property. We met Nilantha when we bought this house. He was treated really badly by the original Company who sell and manage property here.
After being 'bad mouthed' by this Company  (which is why he left) we kept him on with us and it is the BEST thing we have ever done.
The Garden and house is just beautiful, they have worked so hard for us...they are our Family here.
We had renters just before we arrived and the wonderful comments from them is an inspiration.
Yay!

I will be 'catching up' slowly.
I know I have missed some Birthdays and I am truly sorry.......Happy Birthday :dance:Thank you also for all the wonderful comments, Fav's and 'watches'. :heart:

Next week here in Galle we have a Literary Festival..............so excited because they are always fantastic and get to have lunch/dinner with the Authors.
Will let you know what happens.

Jenny with :heart:
