Lots of game drives, town trips (this I dont enjoy, I get to town, do what I have to do as quickly as possible and leave as soon as I can, unfortunately I have had to spend all day there), and lots of data entry in the middle of the day.
I have seen a lot more of the lions in the last couple of weeks, as there are a couple of new lions in one of our bomas (quarentine enclosure) and they have been spending almost all their time hanging around the fence line looking (lovingly in the two males cases) at the new lionesses.
My leopard drought has also been broken, seeing a female up a tree, and one of our big males two nights in a row, as well as our other big male on a territory patrol.
The cheetahs have also featured prominently in my sightings, as well as (finally) some more elephants, including some at base one Sunday morning when I was suprised by a game drive turning up at 6.30am to view the male who was in our garden, and got a lovely sight of me in my pyjamas racing back to my room to put some more clothes on!!!!!
It isnt always the big things that are nice to see, I also enjoy the general game, zebra, girrafe, impala, was very excited to finally see some nyala again, bushbush, warthog babies, kudu, leopard tortoises and of course the many birds, a lot of which I dont know!
The weather is now starting to beging to cool down again, it is getting cooler at night (I am regularly wearing a fleece, athough not many others are, and using my doona pulled all the way up), and slightly less humid.

That scorpion sure doesn't look too happy!!! But what a fabulous photo.
Losing track of days out there are you or are you posting on our time? Only 2.12 am Monday 4 March here but that's the date on your post & You're quite a few hours behind us.
As always lovely to see a post. Haven't noticed you on-line at the same time as me recently but hope we can catch-up soon.
Lots of love, Pam x0x0x
Hi Petal,
I agree with Pam, huge pinchers! and it is my star sign, I have them on my 2 charm bracelets!
Love Mum
Hi Pam, it probably puts the Melbourne time it is posted, as I dont think I have updated where i am, I certanly didnt post it at 2am!
Mum, the scorpion is actually one of the ones that has small pincers-and a bit tail. Get bitten by him, and you could die! If they have large pincers then they are safe.
I love the scorpions under UV light, it makes them look so awesome.
Love

Hi rhiannon! I also love your photos! I posted what the animals would look like if they fed at Mac's!
Have you considered writing a column for a melboure newspaper? 'our girl in Afrika' Your material is excelent and it would help to pay the bills! More important, it might help someone else to fulfill their dreams! All the best from Geoff!
I looked up doona, Ok. but there is nothing I can understand under 'bushbush! All the best from Geoff!
Hi Geoff,
Sorry that was supposed to be Bushbuck, one of the antelopes we see here
