16 October, 2011

well didn't sleep well last night. felt like i didn't sleep at all. seemed to be awak all night listening the local wildlife noises wondering if the buggers are going to break in. thinking, should i let the big girl out of her room to protect me lol! she would probably join them hitting me with a stick or stones. nah, shes getting better.

i practiced walking silently passed her cage, my back squashed up against the opposite wall, just like Clareese in Silence of the Lambs when she visited Hanible Lecter in his cell hahaha.

just came back from a grooming session with Mzee. i've been feeding him yesterday and today, but today he wanted to groom me. pretty freaky the first time you let a huge chimp hand grab ur head and look for stuff in ur eyes. he's probably the most attentive Dr i've been too. really intense but he is so gentle as he works around ur eyes. he wanted me to go in his enclosure with him, but i wasn't that game. he hasn't charged me once or thrown branches, stones or corn cobs at me yet, so he can't truely love me surely lol!

Bili was good this afternoon. came down and played with me but when i him i had to leave to see Mzee, he charged me and threw rocks at me. hmmmm, female jealousy maybe?

a Kenyan thunderstorm is rolling in so its nice to hear the thunder and rain on the roof.

i visted the Mt Kenya Fairmont Game club / resort next door. awesome place and if you're into golf you would love it. might have to go there occassinoally to top up my white tan by the pool. if your not staying it costs $8 to get in to use the facilities. anything you buy has 3 taxes on it totallying 27%. meals seemed surprisingly cheap avg of $8-$10, unless my exchange conversion maths was wrong. wine started at $30 i think for a bottle, but it didn't say. so for a 5 star resort it was pretty good prices, apart from the taxes.

watched the rugby... need i say more :-(

healt wise ive been pretty good considering some dear girlfriends from work gave me a cold 3 days before i flew out :-). i was over it within 2-3 days. but in Dubai i pulled muscles in my arm carrying my backpack, day pack, shoulder bag, camera bag and tripod. Can't figure it. would never have bothered me 10 years ago.

i'm cooking for myself now and i can feel the kilo's dropping off me due to my healthy (too lazy to cook) diet.
