Sunset

The sunsets this week have been stunning and vibrant.

Hoffet Field

From my balcony I look out over the field at the near by French Clinic.  It is called Hoffet Field as it is used by the French School (Lycee Hoffet) for their sport activities and there is small building that is used as their early years campus.

Tonight as I looked out I the orange and red color spots of the young players and the flowers in the trees drew my eye.

Men at Work

Last week there was a wild storm and sheets of iron were blown off the roof of the home opposite my apartment.

This week it turned into construction site, complete with sacred flowers on a central post.

This afternoon there was considerable grunting, groaning and general sounds of hard work.  

I stepped out onto the balcony to watch a group of men carry, using planks through rubber loops,  then lever a concrete pylon into place. Follow their efforts through the photos.

Friday Flowers from Ms Dao

 Luxury of luxuries - I have a cleaner!  Ms Dao visits once a fortnight and cleans the apartment, washes, irons and tidies up. (For anyone who knows me - its a great decluttering strategy!!!)
AND she leaves flowers for me.  This her collection this week.  The green one is a long leaf that one of her friend's ties into a flower shape. Gorgeous.
