Incidents and Observations

There are a few things I need to note but these are out of sequence or represent continuing threads and development.

PoolGuy comes every day

I was speculating this morning that PoolGuy is somewhat like the cats. There was the additional speculation that he watches the porn channels we have discovered on the satellite tv. So he comes everyday at an early hour and does his job in the hopes of seeing some western female topless or even the remote promise of a casual sexual encounter. It’s like the cats. HAng around because something good might happen

Samira comes every day

Samira is rather relentless in the way she cleans. Everyday the rugs go up, the floors are washed, the beds are turned over. The poor girl had fallen on a wet floor a few weeks before we arrived and hurt her hip. She limps from room to room, beating and cleaning and we just don;t know what to do about her. Bonnie suggested she just take a break, sit down in a comfortable chair in the utility room, out of sight and relax for an hour or two. But this doesn’t sit well with her. It’s understandable. In an economy where jobs are scarce, one must be seen to be performing all the time, lest the notion form that you are not doing your job or that your job is unnecessary

Some of the cats watch the staff

Marwar said yesterday when he approaches the house with a tray, we are sure to be visited by a cat or two or three. It’s seems to be the gray (Fes) and the tabby (Jinane) that take their cue from a man with a tray. Majdouline has taken to coming a little earlier in the day. We have identified a fourth young cat, who is mostly gray with red highlights in his hind quarters. I feel the need to name him Rabat. He comes early in the day also. And there is definitely a mother, a morning animal who I wish to call Sublime. AS I have noted before she is quite the climber and Majdouline takes after her. Now I guess we have to get started on naming the birds.
