looking after Grey Matters camp deep in the delta

As the trio returned from there morning outing, much interest was shown in the direction of the container !   before the afternoon foraging expedition, the medications were administered, Marula's lasted lesion was cleaned and the treatments applied, she was not enjoying this, although once done she seamed quite happy (there was less puss than yesterday). Tabu made no fuss while his meds were applied. all three showed more interest in the top of the container on there way out.

After cleaning the boma, two and I used the landcruiser to pull the tractor step straight as it was getting close to the tire. Sunny came with me for a short excursion round to the water pump and towards the hippo pool, to see if we could see any leopard tracks, our exploration was temporally halted in some ruts..! we put some logs under the wheels and retreated back to camp, picking up some wild mushrooms for the trio on the way.

The storm of all storms so far hit around 1 this morning, the ground shook as lightning camp down in the camp, this went on for about 30 min although it seamed like hours. the thunder was loudest I've heard, I was hesitant to switch on the power this morning! The rain continued until nearly 7 am, around 70 - 80 mm I would guess. The  mopane lads doned their rain gear and departed down a flooded road. The boma trenches are draining well, although 1 edge of Thembe's area still held some water.
The mopane lads, Amos & Leano helped with the boma before departing with the trio, Moks & I finnish up the boma, I left him to put out the mopane while I got the weekly rations ready.
