Hey buddy, step out of my territory, or else.

Anthropomorphism. This tongue twister means that one can give animals and birds a human voice.

Hey, look me in the eye when I am talking to you!

I heard the noise of a very angry Egyptian goose and after a while I found him on a roof top. We stopped at a shopping center and as usual, I waited outside while madam was shopping inside for the necessities. Fortunately, I know the loud calls of the Egyptian geese, and at first I thought that there were two of them up there on the roof. But, stepping a bit closer, I saw that this guy was fighting his image in the glass. And he was very angry about this new guy that has now stepped into his territory.
Egyptian geese are very jealous about their territories :)

Oh yeah, you are now facing the terror of the skies, and I'm going to rip you apart.

But before I do, I will, step away like a gentleman, and give you a chance to disappear.

But hey! I am not a gentleman, so watch out, as here I come!

I hope that you have a medical aid, as you are going to need it when I'm finished with you.

Oh, so now you want to get cheeky. I have to warn you that I have a black belt in karate.

At last, now you can look me in the eye and I see that you are an ugly bugger. Take that!

And take that! The window rattled as the goose banged away at it.

The sun started to shift and soon the image in the glass was not clear anymore, so the fight ended. But the goose put in one last shot at the enemy.

Hey silly, have you been drinking again all night? That's a mirror you Klutz. Go home, before your wife beats you up. We all know that you are scared of her, and she is waiting for you. Shouted the Robin-Chat.

Can you believe that we as humans, can also get up to some crazy stuff when we are seriously inebriated. Some here get so drunk that they can't even remember their names. Three drunkards had to appear in court, after a car accident. So the judge asked them who the driver was, and the one accused said that he doesn't know as they were all three sitting on the backseat :)

Such is life, and we are here in the winelands for a short-term yet, so I haven't yet delved into the habits of the people here when they are tanked up. I have seen a lot of it up north where we come from, and I can tell you that the culprits have very inventive excuses the next day, for their bad behaviour. Some swear that they will never drink again, only until Friday, as the first innocent drink invariably leads to a binge and much sorrow afterwards again.
Such is life.

I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and the humor.

And That's All Friends.

This Egyptian goose must have been one of those people who swear to never drink again, only to wild out on weekends.

I've seen animals act like this in front of mirrors or any reflection of themselves. I wonder how humans reacted to their reflections during the old days of cavemen.

Oh yeah, he is a real hypocrite :)

Cavemen only had water to use as mirrors, and as they also had clubs, I think that they used to bash the stranger that they saw in the water reflection.

I often saw the duck in the forests and swamps.. but today i saw it in the city😊

Glad that I could show you the duck in the city !LOLZ

Thank you!

Such an interesting encounter! Never thought that that would happen! The poor person sitting on the other side of the window trying to focus on the spreadsheet or something haha.

Funny how we are exactly like Egyptian geese in our violent temper lunging out at people online or our perception of others from behind the steering wheel and so on.

Anyways, enjoy the Cape for us while we try to beat life up here in Gauteng!

Oh man, I so wish that I was on the other side of that window !LOLZ

Oh yes, there are so many that make that mistake. Of course, never realizing that if you harm another in any way, it will come back to you.
It is written! Do unto others as you would have done to yourself. For in fact, so it is.

So now it's up in Gauteng, with a plausible reason of course, but we know that there is another magnet that draws you up there :)

I can only imagine the nice photographs you could have gotten if you had that access!

So true, and even just a smile can cause that reaction just in the positive as well. Your face is a window for others. Smile and you will most likely receive a smile.

Oh yes, for sure. There is nice stuff to do here as well luckily with the other half by my side. But the obvious goal is to go down back to the Cape where the roots are!

Yep, but it is not to be, so I just shake it off and move on.

Kindness costs nothing but now the self-importance factor seems to rule. Very few smiles around nowadays.

Ah! so you blame the drawcard on the nice stuff to do there. Instead you are trying to make sure that the real drawcard will accompany you back to the Cape !LOLZ

It is so sad because I firmly believe that even just one smile can make someone's day and you do not always know the impact that small gesture has.

For sure! Her heart is set on the Cape, so that is already a big positive.

Smiles are scarce nowadays as everyone is in one or another personal battle. But you are right, as humor and friendliness van heal many ills.

Had a meeting at Imibala today and the tenant in the building that I was eyeing for the bakery projects, had the lease renewed for another 5 years. So now we will start the search for another place.

Great that her heart is set on the Cape and we hope that things will work out.

Modern life makes it tough to extend happiness and joy to others. The structures that be is not conducive to the best life.

Sorry about the lease! I am sure something good will pop up. As some doors close others open!

If the spirit inside of us is good, then we simply let our light shine regardless of the conditions.

Yep, it's a story of patience, as it will happen when the time is right.
