Thankfully I found out I had malaria early on (I recognised the symptoms since this is my second time), so I wasn't so badly off.<br />Have you had some decent rain yet? Here, everything is going green and the trees are flowering but all the waterholes are virtually dry. Fingers-crossed we get some proper deluges soon.<br />I saw pictures of your serval on Courtney's blog. He's lovley, but getting so big!! I hope he grows out of toe-biting or you may find yourself a few toes short!mainly mongoose (Lynda)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05917384766182752791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767913719381352936.post-43669118043044927932010-10-31T21:18:11.187+02:002010-10-31T21:18:11.187+02:00hey

We have not had rain yet!

I really enjoyed the photos on your sister's blog (including the ones of you doing goofy things!).<br />I hope you can train your serval out of climbing you before he gets much bigger (I have a cat who sometimes does this - although only to waist-height); it's so horrible when you're wearing summer clothes!<br />Have you had any rain there yet? We've had only one light shower but at least it's cooler here at the moment.mainly mongoose (Lynda)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05917384766182752791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767913719381352936.post-42430357581803472712010-10-20T20:17:58.629+02:002010-10-20T20:17:58.629+02:00Lynda,

The females in one of my mongoose groups gave birth two days ago, but everyone else is still waddling around pregnant. They all seem to be running a couple of weeks later than usual this year (probably due to the cold winter and fewer bugs).

Last year there was not much rain, but when the rain comes is can even take a villages grass roof off we call them monsoons! It was 42 today in the house, but my dad filled our swimming pool! It is so HOT that the servel even gets into the dogs water bowl!
