In glorious technicolour, direct from Africa...

Thanks to Martin I finally figured out how to add pictures to my blog! So here is one of Martin by the safari truck taken on Saturday 10 May.
He has had some interesting gastronomic opportunities during his stay so far; one of Les’ workers sent him half a sheep’s head, boiled and smoked. He ate a little but couldn’t face it all. He also bought a whole 6 ft. sugar cane and we had an interesting time trying to get into the soft sweet fibre through the tough outer skin, which looked a bit like bamboo. Les is away in the US so Martin and I have to make our own entertainment for the next couple of weeks. He came to the library and to the school again this week and had his own group of readers this time. On Monday, we are planning a trip to Soweto to include lunch at a traditional Shebeen. I have met a tour guide who does small personalised tours so we can have one tailor made to suit us. The weather has turned warm again, so at the moment Martin is in the garden taking in a few rays. I must be getting acclimatised to the weather out here as I actually find it a bit chilly and I am wearing a jumper today whilst he has shorts on!
We had some Czech visitors for dinner last night, they were colleagues of Les who came home from work with him, we all had dinner then I took them all to the airport, Les for Philadelphia via London, they were going to Prague via Madrid.
Next week the removal company are coming to make the preliminary arrangements for our return to Scotland; I can’t believe it’s that time already! We will be back sometime in July but we want to take some holidays before that and travel down to the Cape area.
But all of that is in the future; for now I am just enjoying having Martin here (even though he eats like a horse!!!)
