Lots of powercuts recently, and lots of exhausted people mean rather few posts. Sorry. A number of things have happened though - Mama B now appears well and truly over the bug (bar a residual cough) and has had enough energy to stay out of bed all day today! We did take it fairly easy today though (if you ignore the furniture removals and house rearrangements of the morning) - lots of spirograph geneneration (realy ones, not my fancy plots) and even Kitty had a fairly long nap after much exhaustion. Yesterday was more interesting though. I went on an expedition to this nice plain just north of Arusha find Tanzania's rarest bird with a couple of local birders, and failed (boo), but did see Foxy Larks.
Somewhere in this is picture is Tanzania's rarest bird - probably all 50 of them infact - Beesley's Lark. (And Kili, but you can't see that either...). Must try harder...
Not that they were new (though the red-fronted warblers were - very cute), but they do provide a nice link to the main event of the day, Kitty's school production of Chicken Licken. Starring both as butterfly dancer and ace narrator there was a certain nervousness as to whether we'd be on for a repeat of the Christmas extravaganza debacle, but no - perfect performances in both roles.
A star is born...
And Mama B recovered the Mancub (after he had stolen a Chicken Licken hat from some unsuspecting performer) before he upstaged them all...
Tomorrow involves more parties andprobably powercuts too, so that's all for now...
