I know what you mean Sue.
Living the dream is just what it is Terry.
So we sat on the veranda patio area chatting, posting on TP and Facebook and replying to emails, at peace with the world.
My eyes were tired from using the iPad in such bright sunlight so the time was right for some meditation.
I sat for a while, at one with my breathing and was brought back to reality by Helen saying ' Don't turn round Sylvia. Just get up very slowly and walk to your room.' I opened my eyes and glanced sideways. There sitting on the wall, just a few inches away , was a full sized monkey, staring straight at me.
I did as I was told, not forgetting to take hold of my iPad, my kindle and my glasses first and slowly and quietly we walked towards our rooms. Monkey was not pleased. I heard a thump and a thud and thought he was crashing against one of our doors. I bolted my door as if my life depended on it.
Later , when all was quiet, we went downstairs. The celebrations seemed to be over unless they were continuing elsewhere. We were told there was a restaurant open nearby, so all India was not closed. We then enjoyed a delicious lunch.
It's now ten past five and we are resting.
