Monkey On The Roof

Our new home in Delhi is the top flat of Lakshmi's family home. The ground floor apartment is occupied by Lakshmi's grandmother and grandaunt. The 1st floor is where my future mother in-law lives and above her you'll find us.

Just outside our bedroom we have a patio area full of potted plants. Penny has really taken a liking to it because there are plenty of birds and squirrels in the vicinity to keep her occupied. This morning, however, I noticed something was a little off. Listening to Penny (relentlessly) barking while I'm still trying to sleep is nothing new, but today Rufus was also going at it. At this point, realizing that getting a fewer extra minutes of sleep just wasn't going to happen, I decided to investigate..... and that's when I saw the monkey on the roof. It was just sitting on the ledge staring down at my dogs. It got startled and moved off when I called in the dogs, but Penny managed to find it again from our living room window just sitting on another ledge. At this point I figured that a picture was duly needed for my blog... unfortunately this monkey must have been camera shy because it jumped away when it saw me trying to take a picture... no worries though, next time I'm going to be better prepared.
