At 6:30 the power goes off for ‘load shedding’. But I have made guacamole with the great Avon’s and tomatoes here, so we enjoy beers and dip til the power comes back on at 7:30pm. Not so bad. We heat our pies with their melt-in-yourmouth puff pastry, full of lots of delicious meat. With salad and baby tomatoes and a Perdeberg Cab Sauvignon, we are cosy here in our wee cabin. There is a TV up on the wall, but its not operational - yet! I make mango/passionfruit for dessert and we are both bushed. Ted passes out to bed at 9pm and I read til 10.
For whatever reason my stomach is acting up so I am glad I have bought some pills before we left for our safari. Somehow I left them out of my first aid kit. The pills work well and don’t interfere with our plans for the day.
It’s not a great sunrise, an owl is hooting somewhere and an elephant calls somewhere.
We are up with questions. Do we have power? For how long? WE get the coffee on and enjoy it with the honey/almond tusks we picked up. This is a very fav thing to eat here - risks. In UK we only gave risks to babies to teethe on and they are unheard of in NA. You dip them like biscotti here.
We are warned not to feed baboons and watch out for the vervet monkeys that steal your food. We keep our door closed all the time.
I make up another fruit salad. My notes tell me the mangoes are fibre-free from Lesotho.
It has been really hot again here (26). so I am wearing my arm sleeve again for my swollen arm and lymphedema. Very effective but hot.
