You have to get used to hot feet when you choose to live on the largest salt pan in Africa. The Capped Wheatear inhabits the vast, shimmering 4800 square kilometres of the Etosha Pan, with not a tree in sight.
Le cap Ferret est un cap français formant un cordon littoral qui se situe à l'extrémité sud de la presqu'île de Lège-Cap-Ferret en Gironde. Il sépare l'océan Atlantique et le bassin d'Arcachon. Le cap Ferret est l'extrémité de la presqu'île de Lège-Cap-Ferret qui s'est formée par l'allongement, depuis seulement environ 2 000 ans, d'une flèche sableuse, alimentée par la dérive littorale nord-sud due aux courants côtiers, et qui ferme partiellement le bassin d'Arcachon. Celui-ci, à l'est, et l'océan Atlantique, à l'ouest, offrent au cap Ferret une situation géographique et climatique originale entre deux « mers ». On peut ainsi profiter, d'un côté, des paysages du bassin d'Arcachon et, de l'autre, des vagues et de l'immensité de la Côte d'Argent. À la Pointe, où s'effectue la jonction entre le bassin d'Arcachon et l'océan Atlantique, on observe, au milieu des passes, le banc d'Arguin et, au-delà , la dune du Pilat.

24/7 live-in maid sissy barbie wearing a yellow satin uniform with matching cap, gloves and shoes. The uniform is trimmed with black satin and lace.
Close up of the matching yellow padlock through the zip's pull tab and through the two metal rings of the collar. This prevents sissy barbie removing her uniform without permission of Mistress Lady Penelope. Mistress has found this form of discipline highly effective. Only when a long hard day's work has been completed to Mistress' satisfaction might the padlock key and the key to the servant's quarters be given to the maid. Naturally the key to the maid's chastity device is retained by her Mistress. Once sissy barbie has returned to the servant's quarters she can unlock the padlock and remove her uniform. As her petticoat has an attached bodice and shoulder straps, she cannot remove that until the uniform has been removed. After that she may don her nightie and begin her night's sleep, though being a 24/7 live in maid, she is always on call and she may well have to serve her Mistress wearing her nightie.
Sometimes when it is likely she will be called, she is not given the key to the padlock and has to sleep in uniform ready to 'scramble' within seconds of being called to serve. This does tend to flatten her petticoat unfortunately and that has to rectified the following day.
If the maid has been negligent in her duties in any way or does not pass Mistress Lady Penelope's inspection of her work and attire, she will not be given any keys but instead be locked in the sturdy steel cage in Mistress' dungeon as punishment. The cage has a hard floor and is too small for any more than a cat nap. All night the errant maid will be shifting from one uncomfortable position to another in the cold dark dungeon, not knowing the time. She will remain silent to avoid further punishment for waking her Mistress in her nice soft warm bed.
The maid will worry all night that she has angered her Mistress so much that Mistress Lady Penelope might decide to leave her locked up for two nights and the intervening day too. Sissy barbie knows that would be very severe punishment and will do everything humanly possible during her working day to avoid making her Mistress decide to do that. She also worries that perhaps Mistress Lady Penelope might be so busy that Mistress simply forgets to release her. The maid knows she is an insignificant convenience in Mistress Lady Penelope's life, Mistress might very well notice when she does not get her breakfast in bed but then forget that her maid is not cleaning the house, doing the laundry and all the other things she does unseen, Mistress Lady Penelope might get so excited by her social life that she forgets that her maid is locked in a little cage in the dungeon, dutifully remaining silent, not knowing whether it is day or night but acutely feeling the passage of every minute and regretting what she did to be receiving such severe punishment.
Sissy barbie will be waiting to hear her Mistress' footsteps and when she hears them, praying Mistress will come towards the dungeon door, unlock it and turn on the light. The maid will probably cower and quiver in case she is to be punished further, all the time hoping she is to be released, though she knows when that happens she will be required to begin a new days work, after a visit to the bathroom, fluffing out her petticoat and correcting whatever she did wrong the day before. The loss of one night's sleep is bad, but two nights in a row is torture, so the errant maid will be very careful not to risk another and will perform her duties to the letter despite being very weary. She will be extremely grateful to her Mistress for her release. The maid will have lost all track of time and if Mistress Lady Penelope is feeling magnanimous, might tell her maid how long she has been caged.
