We've been back to the Nice tailors with the last of the material we got from Margao. He wont have his photo taken which is such a shame as he is a handsome man with the most amazing coloured beard, a sort of bleached ginger. I can take photos of his workers he says but not him.

A bit further on the fruit and vegetable man is very happy to pose, he has the most amazing light green eyes and the most dazzling smile. The trouble is he always 'flashes' his eyes, an art he is obviously well practised in for the ladies, after I've taken the shot! Of course its the eye flash I want to catch!

So my blip today is one of the many birds that came to chomp on the palm flowers first thing this morning. This might be a hummingbird sort of bird as it hovered and probed with its beak as well as sitting on the bloom. I don't often do bird photos as I don't have the patience but this morning the birds were so busy gorging they didn't notice me or rather they didn't perceive me as a threat more like. They were right of course!
