I think Mike has posted something similar on blipfoto, but
this rooster is driving us nuts so I feel the need to post as well (apologies
for the re run).
Orthodox Ethiopian Easter is this Sunday. During the lead up to Easter, Orthodox
followers fast (no meat, eggs or dairy) for 55 days. The fast is then broken with a meat laden
dinner. Doro wat (a
kind of chicken stew) is the traditional food for Easter.
A rooster that is destined to become Easter dinner has been
roaming around our tiny cement compound for the last few days. Not sure he knows what’s in store for him.
We are really wishing that Easter would come sooner, as the
cockerel has been causing some extremely disrupted sleep. It doesn’t appear that roosters crow only in
the morning. They seem to crow all night
long with a blatant disregard for those of us who like to catch some shut eye
at night.
Today Mr. Rooster had the gall to come into the house and have
a little relax on our sofa. Mike had
forgotten his computer this morning, zipped back into the house and, there the
rooster was, standing on our sofa, making himself at home.
We’re heading out of town for the Easter long weekend, so unfortunately will miss the rooster feast. But we’re
hoping for some better sleeps when we get home.
Happy Easter!
