looking after Grey Matters camp deep in the delta, a quiet day

Deep in the Okavango.  Delta all is going well, Leano collected his monthly rations, the trio are all doing fine and departed for there afternoon in the bush as normal. The mopane lads returned to camp at about 5 and reported to have seen a large herd of buffalo near to were they were cutting.
We had another spectacular African sunset ..... ahh
After the trio returned yesterday evening, two wild elephants tried to access the boma, they were meet by Leano, Amos & Dazo armed with cow bels, pots and sticks and with much noise the intruders were persuaded to forage elsewhere... 
it was a very quiet night, only a distant hyena far off to the South as eyes closed.
This morning we woke to a cloudy sky, some gusty wind, it was really quite cool, the trio departed without any fuss, weekly rations are ready for collection and the children's education area will be finished today.
The wind has dropped and the cloud is burning off, good for solar power.
