One month until Christmas.
Had three lovely mongoose in my garden yesterday. A mommy and two pups. They came right up on the veranda, which is where I spotted them. They tried to climb one of the cedars and then the mango tree. I bet they were looking for birds' nests. Not very good climbers though. No chance to take a picture as I did not want to scare them. I am most glad to see them as they keep the snakes away.
It has been raining again. At least it keeps the garden watered.
I discovered a new mosquito repellent. It is called Sambrani. You take a small aluminum burner that looks like a shallow bowl with a long handle, burn something in it like wood chips or coconut shell, burn it down to embers, then add camphor and Sambrani which is like a powdered incense. It smells great. You smudge the house and outside as well. It does not kill the mosquitoes, but it makes them sluggish. The indoor ones are really easy to kill and the outdoor ones are too drugged to come inside. Plus it doesn't make you sick like all those other things like spray, coils and mats. Nothing like low tech.
