I know all of you have been burning to know the answer to this question:
So what do the ibex do when they are off duty from their daily job of driving connectivity to the Internet?
Well the answer is simple really; they take some time out, hang out with their friends and have a bite to eat. Simple stuff.
This is the view from my front door.
(V v dry here, stinking hot and a bit of a drought. Horrible. V v bad to be enormously pg in the middle of summer heat wave, would say bad planning, but hahahahaha, not big on planning pregnancies around here.)
Oh, and Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate. Ho ho ho indeed.
Off to have traditional lunch in the sweltering heat. Ridiculous really. Hang over from our days of being part of the colony. .

Yes, I love the dry desertic landscapes, I really do. Lucky cow. Hope you have a lovely, lovely day - and Merry Christmas to those whom it applies to. Try not to disgrace yourself by diving head first into the punch bowl, good thing you can't move very fast. Six days to January. ?????? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool view! Very different from mine, some of which contains a subway (which is not exactly sub at the point where we can see it). I guess you were let off of bedrest for a little while to particicate in said lunch. Hope it was good (at least what would fit).

I showed the pic to hubby. He said it looks like a scene out of a movie. What a great view, I'm jealous. Well at least this week we made it above double digit Fahrenheit...
