      I guess that by having tourists, even though it disrupts village life, it is a good source of income and helps keep some traditions going in a world where internet, mobile phones and TV are fast replacing campfires and the passing down of legends and stories…. A bit more on that later..
      We were taken into the boma (kraal) for the dancing. It was a bit whiffy, and I was glad I was wearing boots…










      I had an absolute ball! We were singing and dancing and just having a wonderful time together, united by dance, song and laughter... it was a wonderful experience.









      Here they are sussing out my piccies… everyone’s a critic… that’s why I don’t do portraits. I was hoping it wouldn’t drop it into the cowshit.

        After the dancing and chatting I went to the gate of the boma to take in the view… very much like parts of outback South Australia.






        Meanwhile Arnie was chatting to one of the guys about working out at the gym.



        And these kids were just hanging round.






        Check out the smile....

          Next morning Gwendoline was up very early cooking brekky…. Like, at or before daybreak.
          I had a bit of an arrangement that if a burner was free for a couple of minutes, I could boil my water for a morning cup of coffee. I’d brought along an spc jar of moccona indulgence.
          A couple of times we managed to get fresh milk in place of UHT. Bliss!
          Mr Rags keeps telling me I have to stop being a water and coffee snob.
          He’s right.
          Notice the egg yolk. There really is bugger all for chooks to feed on, and the yolks are usually less yellow than that. I guess it would be the same for chooks in remote Australia,
          It wasn’t till we got to Vietnam where even when they’re not fed, chooks have enough food from scratching around…. Lots of vegetation, rain and worms.
          Gwendoline has done a three year course in cooking plus a management course of some kind, plus a further 6 month course in Intrepid training... and has to get up at very early hours to start the meals.

              Gwendoline looks like she knows a fried egg from a cows arse. The eggs are a cookin, the billy's on. I just have to saunter out in me blue silk dressing gown from Singapore. What more could a bloke want. Is she single Rags?

                    I do believe she is Mr G. and I have her email and postal addresses. What're they worth?

                      I confess to making a huge error though. As the glare is bright there even when it's overcast, I adjusted the display/review screen up to full brightness on the big camera. Then I had a serious brain drain and kept adjusting my speed/aperture/ISO etc so the piccies looked good on the screen. Oops.
                      Result. A heap of highly underexposed pics. Silly me.
                      I didn't twig for about 5 days, even when I kept saying to myself that the shutter speed shouldn't be that fast for that amount of light. I'm usually reasonably good at estimating an exposure. I should've twigged a lot sooner.
                      Some of the younger ones kept asking my advice about how to photograph different things etc. (I was pretty chuffed at that). So here was Raggsy, photographic advisor, screwing up her pics ! Told Mr Rags and said "Well, looks like I'll have to go back there again" Guess what? He said.. "We'll see." How good is that.

                          Arvo Undies,

                          Yikes Aspy ... the little tacker's getting BIG!

                          How did the interview go, Sunny?

                          Lilly, it's really cold down here so be prepared for more cold stuff coming your way.

                          I'm just undergoing a dose of immense giggles. Someone's cracked the darks with us and downgraded our thread to 4 stars, deeming it terrible. Too bloody funny because I don't give a fat rat's how many stars we've got so I'm going in to vote. Let's see if we can downgrade it to 1 *. Childish? Moi?

                          (Goody! ***claps hands*** that worked. We're down to 3***)

                          Next?

                              Good man, Aspy! United we stand ... and all that stuff ...

                              Hey - heard on the radio t'other day ... a woman up Byron Bay way found a 6' blue-bellied black (?) had been asleep in her bed all night. Suppose that would make you really really happy ...

                                I actually don't mind talking to myself. It comes naturally. So, while we're waiting for Raggsy to get.her.arse.into.gear and upload MORE pickshas ... I shall bore you with cunning stunts of a culinary nature.

                                Today's lunch consisted of Tuna Croquettes and Guacamole (with a generous shake or six of Smoked Chipotle Tobasco ***thanks***) and enough coriander to send Mr. Rags to the ER. I need youse all to get things in perspective ... I only ever serve my meals on side plates, so these little buggers are only about an inch and a half long and ... I actually only ate four of them. Yummy they were. Here's a One star-worthy pic.



                                I'm really just cruising around because it's bloody cold (again) and I also read that our mate KTAB might be in a bit of bother. Reckon a PM might be in order?
