Looking after Grey Matters camp deep in the delta 19th Jan 2010

Meanwhile back in the delta.. light rain continued most of the morning, the boma now has better drainage ditches, and just before 2 the sky once again opened with lightning, thunder with rain to test the new drainage, at this point the trio came in at a quickened pace, Amos & Leano riding atop as the rain fell harder. they seamed happy to be back home in the boma.
the rain became lighter within an hour, but by 4 a steady downpour ensued once more this time without thunder & lightning. Marula was calm and her medication went without fuss as did Jabu's. the trio departed a little late due to the rain (10min) to return just before 8.
Sunny didn't manage to finish all the wheelbarrows yesterday, as the last one needs some welding which is almost impossible in rain we had most of the day.
This morning the sky is still cloudy but clearing we hope, the trio departed on time as lions and baboon made noise just to the north and quite close, Sunny can finish the wheelbarrow this morning and continue with the tractor key switch puncture etc while Two and Moks are making the container ready for the trucks arrival on thursday as its not raining this morning! Leano and I assed the mopane situation and have scheduled the next collection for Friday.
Tent cleaning can resume once this inclement weather has passed, the batteries are a bit low at 24.5 so am using as little as possible until we get some sola weather
