L is for Lion, Lion’s Head and Laughing Kookaburra. We saw these lions on our last trip to Etosha National Park in 2014 on a rainy day. They were very relaxed and let us have a good, long look at them (I’ve used some of the photos in a previous photo challenge: here).
There is a song called: “Kookaburra sits in the Old Gum Tree” which is sung to the same melody as a song I grew up with in South Africa called “Tortelduifie sit in die Eikeboom” (Turtledove sits in the Oak Tree). I’ve included a video of Kookaburra sits in the Old Gum Tree:
L is also for limes, picked fresh from the garden and soon to become home made lime sorbet and lime cheese cake. I’ve since picked another bowl full but I’m running out of ideas what to make with them all. Any suggestions anyone?

Ek hou vreeslik baie van die kookaburra, en veral hulle “lag”. As ek soggens vroeg gaan stap en ek hoor hulle lag hier in die voorstad begin my dag sommer vrolik.

Daar’s ‘n klein stukkie opname van die kookaburra se lag aan die begin en die einde van die video met die liedjie. Ek hoop dit werk.

Ps: ek dink ook lemmetjiekonfyt is my volgende opsie (maar ek het in my lewe nog nooit konfyt gemaak nie, so dit sal interressant wees!). Ek het nou al ‘n klomp lemmetjies weggegee by die werk ook.

Ek sal bietjie kyk. Ek gebruik darem nog my Kook en Geniet redelik gereeld.

Hmmm, that sounds great! I might have to freeze some lime juice for future use/consumption.

Dankie, ek het dit geniet. Kookaburra in the old gum tree – ek weet dit gaan nou weer in my kop vassteek en ek gaan dit heeldag sing.

It was incredible. We were so lucky to see them up close like that. It was a bit scary as well since our friend and myself had just got out of and back into our vehicles to open and close the gate at a picnic spot nearby (where you’re allowed to do that), and 100 metres down the road these guys were lazing around. Thanks for stopping by, Susie.
