Thanks for all the charming replies! \O



(BTW: "Drunch" is a late brunch that happens after lunch... O** )

Day 3 Part 4:




So the Dong, the Steed and HMS Herpes II left to go to the lair of Col. Schwarz.... (Sounds like the title of a rather unsavory movie one might find in a dark corner of a video store, but so be it... O** )


I accompanied Sprocky in the Steed, and noticed his green ribbon! \O :shock:






Image







Temperatures couldn't rise any more if they tried, I don't think...it was some sort of "naughty forties" record that day at Sirheni... 0: (Actually, leachy went somewhere else...but we were constantly expecting him to pop up anywhere by that stage! O-/ )



On this last full day, I eventually remembered to take a pic of the Sirheni turnoff! ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^






Image




For some reason I sommer took two, as Heksie would say... -O- 0-


So the second one is after "auto correct"... O:V






Image






Upon arrival, Sprocky and I put the kids to bed.





Col Schwarz: "Good Aftern..."

RP: "Fuck off, Schwarz, we've had a busy day!"



and Sprocky transferred his gear into the master bedroom...despite his pleas I had instructed him to sleep on the floor there...protocol, you know! :twisted:





But he made a rather emphatic statement to mark his territory, so to say, and I was suitably subdued! :shock:





Image






Go Fujifilm small camela!? 0:




Col. Schwarz (in absentia): "So! Ve haf all of zem in vun basket, so to speak! I shall report to ze minister vunce ze radio has stopped meltink!"


As said before, there is a little small corner in the dirt next to the verandah that somehow retains a modicum of shade despite Schwarz's cunning afternoon sunray calculations, and Sprocks and I had a great time chewing the fat, as it were, with copious fluid intake to prevent dehydration, of course! \O


I was facing the dam/fence, when something caught my eye...




Spr: "Blahbla blahblalabla...Phalaborwa...blahbla...forums...balabla...sorry I couldn't bring much ice...balabla..."

RP: "Something has caught my eye!"

Spr: "Blahbla...what!?"

RP: "It's Schwarz's lame fish hooks supended from the eaves again trick...just help me out a bit!"

Spr: "Ok...all of them are out now...so anyway. As I was saying..."

RP: "Sable!"

Spr: "Gesundheit!"

RP: "No! There's a sable behind you!"



And there was! For some reason we could't get very good pics... :O^





Image






Spot the animal!

But it's proof, anyway! ^0^

An extremely rare sighting, IMO, which sort of got us up and running!

=O: =O: =O:

Has anyone ever told you that you are a chop???? =O:

It took you a year to get to this point. Somewhere in my small collection of photos from the last year I might find one of that Sable. Give me a week or two. X#X
