Trees and Wavy Ground

I captured this spot while we were eating at a food stall in Sentul City area (Bogor, West Java, Indonesia). It looks like a little jungle; but in fact, it’s just an open green area inside the city.

Installing Deadlocks and Safety Chains

A cylindrical deadlock on all your external doors (or a cylindrical lock set on a home office or bedroom door) gives a sense of security that more than compensates for the effort and cost involved in its installation. You will need to bore two holes and do a little chiselling to install a lock of this kind. Mortice locks, on the other hand, need many more holes bored.

A deadlock ensures that, even if an entruder gains access via a window, he or she can't open the door. A deadlock has no handle and can only be opened with a key (inside and out) and the idea of having to haul your heavy valuables through a window may well see the would-be burglar on his way. Keyed locks on the windows are worth considering.

A safety chain on a timber front or back door allows you to open the door marginally to see who's calling, but won't afford an opening sufficient for anyone to enter. It also doubles the security of a lock and makes you feel a great deal more comfortable about being home alone.

Our Favorite Gazebo

This yellow gazebo is located beside my grand father’s house. We were at the grand father’s house last weekend. It’s a nice place to chat, do fishing and enjoy the pond view around.

Tired Faces

My husband captured it candidly with his camera phone. We were on the train that took us back from Jakarta (capital city of Indonesia) to my city, Bogor. It’s not a long time journey; only about one hour.

The comfortable temperature inside the train turns tiredness into sleepiness. In fact, I didn’t know if my husband took a picture of them; as I also slept along the ride.
