Don't know why I have been putting CB all the time when it is CT - so get used to the new title - must be all the sun eh!
Talking about sun managed to get on the beach the last two afternoons as seriously need to make you guys envious of my tan when I return, so might reach for the cooking oil on Saturday - anyone for a fried egg! Didn't bother going for a swim the azure blue sea gets a bit boring after a while.
Am planning to go to Mombasa tomorrow as none of you have volunteered to go for me, as need to get my flight sorted and paid for then I can relax. Only got 4 whole days left, time to come home will miss this place but am missing home more now.
Well what have i been up to the last couple of days. Yesterday we went de-snaring in the forest, got a big scratch on my back thanks to a bush! Found one operational snare, correction, I found one operational snare more by luck than judgement. We were standing talking and I looked round and went whats that...... Found some string also, which was obviously a snare.
Then it was beach in the afternoon and chilling out and early nights last for all, it is so tiring working in the sun and whatever else.
Today went off to find the hybrid again, i managed to spy it, but by the time the others got to me it had disappeared into the neighbouring hotel. We followed it but lost it although we searched high and low.
Apparently tomorrow we are going to catch it to take blood samples, faecal samples, hair samples and hopefully semen samples. Not sure which one of us will be pleasuring him to get the semen samples - I vote not me! He is actually a really nice monkey I sat right by him and took about 15 minutes of video and there was no aggression, in actual fact he ignored me. Charming really!
This afternoon I cleaned the cage out for the three baby monkeys, pooh everywhere, but hey better than an afternoon of de-snaring again which the others did. Andrew took Erica into the cage with the three monkeys and sat there with her for ages. The idea is maybe put her in with them for socialisation and to remind Erica she is actually a monkey and not a human. She has changed so much since I have been here, has really come out of her shell, doesn't need to be with us all the time and is now so playful. Jodie is her 'big' playmate and they have just been playing on sofa. We now have her climbing trees and mossie nets and anything else we can find for her to climb. It won't be long now before she will have to start being in the cage as she will become a real pain, cute pain, but a pain all the same.
I managed to get out of being on Erica 'sleeping' last night was Andrew's turn, I did have her the two previous nights. Nearly just killed Erica as she was bouncing around on the keyboard and managed to turn the computer off, thought I had lost this blog......
Tonight well we are staying in again, no doubt more early nights. The French girls are due back today but no sign of them yet. Tomorrow we are all going out for dinner to celebrate Eric's one month here, not baby Eric but Manager Eric. He is shouting us all dinner and we are paying for the drinks. There is a rumour that we are going to a local Kenyan club after which will be fun - we hope. At least we will be with all the Kenyan staff! Oh yes, hot gossip there is a little romance going on between one of the vols and a staff member.... not sure I should say anymore, but will keep you posted of any developments that are printable!
Anyway nothing else to say, this will be one of my last blogs, well only probably two or three more, so cherish this scribblings!
