I am sitting at a table for two with the pool to my left and the breakfast buffet to my right. The pool features a waterfall and I discovered a jacuzzi behind it yesterday during my "daily" explorations. I like the noise of the water, it's soothing and calming and the smell of frangipani flowers is everywhere, permeating the air.
The fans on the ceiling keep the air moving and it is fresh and breezy. Max is reading the local newspaper and I am writing this blog. There is a contingent of small, starling like birds waiting for the guests to move away from their tables for a cup of coffee to pounce on their plates and steal whatever they can lay their beaks on. It's funny to watch because the guests get rather upset when they find a mess on their table and the birds just squawk back at them. I am thinking of the starlings at the old B&Q in New Malden (before the opening of the giant B&Q Warehouse) and how they used to sit in wait, close to the bacon butty van right outside the doors for a piece of bread or if really lucky for a morsel of bacon. Evidently bad habits are "international". Today it's out again to look for a home for us but for now I just have my fruit and cereal and enjoy the moment.
