Yowl appears early in the morning, yowling more vociferously than usual but possibly with more reason. He’s walking on three legs and obviously having difficulty putting the fourth paw down. Lost another fight? Who knows. He certainly doesn’t know how to avoid them.

Prayer times clearly announced from the nearby mosque. Remember the mid afternoon one Asr, from our lockdown months, as it always served as a reminder that it was time to begin preparing our evening meal, or at least to ascertain that there was something suitable for a quick reheat. Not of course, its religious purpose, particularly during Ramadan. Interesting way of determining the time for this prayer. It’s when the shadow of an object, such as a stick, is the same length as the object. Though no need to keep a suitable stick and worry about cloudy days in modern times. There are printed timetables for the prayer schedule available and online for any location you care to name.
