Outside My Window
I live a busy life. To bring some order into the enormous potential for chaos, I have routines. Not inviolable routines; I can be flexible when I need to be, but routines that help me take care of the important things so that they don’t get lost in the pressure of other demands.
I start each day with coffee, and sit at my laptop and check all my e-mail. I read my daily readings in the Lectionary (see blogroll). Then I check the blog and respond to comments. Sometimes I write an entry, sometimes I don’t.
So this morning I have just sat down with my coffee, just opened my first e-mail, and suddenly, three men are outside my window, washing the windows. I am still in my nightgown, and had NO warning.
The Qatteri Cat was fascinated, and thought I had arranged this for his special entertainment. I was aghast, and rushed to the back rooms, away from the prying eyes.
I needn’t have worried. As you can see, just as I grabbed my camera, another traffic accident happened and they were very taken with the loud argument that ensued. My friends, the Kuwaiti police showed up about an hour later to sort things out.

That’s a very lovely view to wake up to 😀
Well, these guys are really funny. I was staying at a hotel once in UAE and just as I was waling out of my morning shower a guy appeared at my window and I was staying at the tenth floor 😛
I have a picture of him in his tiny cleaning basket he rides somewhere, I will post it sometime.
And oh btw, The Qatteri Cat looks cute and fluffy. Pretty cool for a cat 😉 (I am a dog person)
oh my goodness – what an awful shock!
I have memories of dropping to the floor and crawling backwards out of the guest bathroom of a friend’s house in Florida one morning. again, no warning and … no dignity to my escape :-)!
Kinan – Every morning I look at that view and go “Ahhhhhhhhh!” It speaks to my soul.
Little Diamond – *dying laughing!*
What an awesome view. I can see why it speaks to your soul.
Good morning, Stinni – The sun is breaking through a layer of clouds this morning, and the edges of the clouds are all limned in gold. There are big breakers striking against the beach. . . ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
