Day 2

Had a lovely, lazy day today.  Only rose at 8am then shuffled around like the old fogies we are. Very hot and dry  (4% humidity - not much chance of rain)  (Static shocks every touch!). Temp went up to 38deg today in the Rad (with all windows open).  Outside wasn't much cooler.  (This is using our "good" gauge not the new iffy one).  Strong wind blowing in from the North bringing all of Africa's hot dry dust to our area.  Plenty of Ground squirrels and Yellow Mongeese (/goose/gooses?) and Cristed Bristeds. (For those not in the know this is an affectionate name for the Crimson Breasted Bush Shrike compliments of the late and much loved Mr McKenzie).  Looking forward to Kgalagadi tomorrow.  It's just starting to cool down now (around 5ish) and we (Luis!) is thinking of getting sloshed again.  I might join him - nothing like a good day's game viewing with a hang over. Had lunch at the lodge restaurant today - gonna have to get back to watching cholesterol intake but it was worth it!
