Awesome stuff PN

Well done Mma

Thanks Richard, Flutterby and Boskuns.

You all can be sure that I love every minute of it.

Life just mosey along here at the center.
It means getting up around half past 5, getting the first cup of very necessary coffee and a smoke (smoke is optional -O ), then a nice shower and with the 2nd cup of coffee in hand go to the main house and get the volunteers out of their beds.

Then we take a nice stroll through the bush of about 10 minutes to get to the Cheetah enclosures for a poo run.
That means picking up the droppings and check if there are any abnormalities like runny, bloody or whatever. Then action will be taken and maybe even the vet will be called.

After that the waterbuckets get filled and we take that same leisurely stroll back again to get some breakfast.
Breakfast finished we stroll back again to do other chores like pruning trees, clearing new areas of rocks and debris and then stroll back again for lunch.

Yep. We stroll quite a lot over there.

Around 2pm we stroll back for some Cheetah playtime.

Like getting Jade in attack mode:



Me being also interested in other things like Cheetahs like to have a look around at, for instance, the avian community around the estate.
That community is rather large. So far I have counted more than 3 dozen species including the Red Chested Cuckoo and the Diedericks Cuckoo.
Still have to get some shots of them BTW.

This one I still have to find



Around 3pm we get the meat ready. Some of us do not like it very much as true vegetarians.



But the Cheetahs really did not care one bit

Here is Nala.
Great character and a lovely female of around 7 years licking here lips and thinking: "Hmmm. Horsemeat



And then it off to the river to watch the yearly Dragonboat race and see the guys on them old jalopies (and new ones) flying by





Then it is back, sitting on the stoep, beer in hand.

What a working day.
