Richprins' Short Business Trips to The Park

[Flutterby]

I told you, I eat Bovril. I did bring it home, and it's sitting in the cupboard waiting for someone who will eat it!

[Richprins]

Anyway, I sat at the mudhole and it was very nice, no cars nor animals!

But many doves!

I phoned my uncle and caught up on some family time!
He did at one stage ask me when gates were closing, as it was a bit dark. I said 6pm....but it WAS getting dark, and I was 200 km east of him!

(I had the same problem as Flutts, and at last clicked it must be 5:30, so left chop-chop...bye mudhole! ) Just made it back to camp!

And a lovely evening with them, I must say! She tells most of the story on her trip report, and it was very nice, as she says.

I slept lekker late the next morning as I was a bit feverish, but when I went out to the car I found this...

I immediately checked if all my eggs were in one basket, which they were, and tried to remember if I had enraged someone the previous night, and this was a warning?

Anyway, I made a marvelous 4-egg breakfast with toast and Marmite, perfecto! A very big patio there, No. 20 I think, with functioning hotplate and everything!

A nice view. This unit costs the same as the little huts.

Then off home along the river road again! (Nothing at the mudhole)

A babyhorse!

And the rarest sighting of the trip...a nyala bull at the Mbyiamiti bridge...

[Richprins]

A bit further, a huge elephant!

The cars were very scared, but I saw he was basically sleeping, and sped past, with the idea of taking a closeup on the way. It didn't come out so well...

END of this trip!


Next coming up:

I'm sure you did prop that marmite jar on the table just because...

[Richprins]

Right!

Last weekend leachy and I went off to Skuks to meet with Joeking and his squad!

We left after work, in the trusty HMS Herpes IV, and leachy refused that we go in at Numbi, but reluctantly allowed Phabeni gate! (we got to Skuks with 1.5 hours to spare, BTW... )


Lovely winter colours now!

And entrance gate all in good order!

I found a very larney pack of foreign cigarettes at the smoking bench (yes there is a smoking area) and handed it and the lighter over to security, after first accosting and Oriental sunset drive group who were not so impressed. (I kept one of the ciggies! )


Lord Leachworthy accepting the title deed to his farm from a nominated staff member...

A little way in he clicked his ribs were frozen, so we retreated to Albasini Ruins to sort that out!

[Richprins]

Leachy was going at speed, as always, so no stopping for a look at the dam and such nonsense...

But soon we had to stop for something!

This bitch was WAY pregnant, and it is unusual, as normally they den and pup in May already?
