Went for another drive on the reserve and this time Matthew got to go. He was very happy and surprised Manie with his knowledge of the animals.

Had another good dinner. No tv's. Just dark night. Early bed to get ready for ...

Needless to say, little sleep was gotten last night, and we're all feeling a bit weary this morning. This ...
Magpie traveller
... the ground for 'lucky beans'. The beans - seeds that fall from a particular type of tree, though I forget the name - are red and black in colour - and they almost look like ladybirds, and are hard to the touch. They may or may not bring luck, but they may make a unique bracelet; I have a feeling I'm going to be stuffing lots of random things in my rucksack throughout the next 18 ...
