looking after Grey Matters camp deep in the delta, rushing to the airstrip

As the storm clouds gathered to the East we got some cool air at last but no rain, the trio returned from their mornings adventure, with a fresh mud coat they settled into the boma,.
In the afternoon in was noticed that Marula has 3 or 4 more small (30mm) soft lumps on her head, she is agitated when they are touched, as the skin isn't broken we didn't apply any medication, her other 3 lesions are healing well. Tabu's foot is still about the same., the trio then departed to the south for the evening adventure, returning just before 8.
This morning was a cool 1 with clouds blocking the sun until about 8, the trio departed towards the airstrip, and as we weren't sure about Amos's arrangements they were to stay closer to the road than normal, I did here Amos's name and the 13:10 departure time on the 8 o'clock news so Sunny, Two & I set off to find Amos & the trio. they hadn't gone far, about 2km, just past the big sausage tree and over to the South. We almost ran over a very big (2m) black mamba that was sitting on the edge of the road, as we passed close by it took off at speed into the long grass. We then had a joke on Amos telling him his flight was at 09:30 and as it was now 8:30 we'll have to rush, Sunny & Two were cutting grass and he was ready to rush so helped them with the grass then we slowly slowly returned to came as Amos was becoming more agitated as the clock ticked towards him missing his flight...
As we got to camp, he ran to collect his gear and we had to tell him to slow down, the flight is 13:10... we all laughed.
We got to the airstrip in good time and Amos was surly in Maun before we got back to camp.
The trio then returned and settled into the boma, lunch was served (ok I cooked and served myself).
