Warm Rain Comes To Muyembe. Monitor Lizard Strikes For The First Time!

Susan, our cook on the compound, discovered a sizable monitor lizard in her pigeon loft. It was night time and it had already eaten one whole pigeon, poor creature.

Don't mess with this woman!

On seeing him, Susan pursued the pigeon snatcher into the 'bush' with a 'panga' (machete). The elusive lizard disappeared into the relative safety of darkness away from the screaming knife-wielding cook!

Showers this afternoon, but still in the eighties. At dinner-time Marie got stung by a bee and I nearly choked on a tough leg of chicken in a slimy sauce. We also had ground-nut sauce over some rice.

Linda the dog had the best tea she'd ever had! We had something similar last night. 

The gas has run out, to top it all off. It all happens here in Muyembe!!
