We Had A Delivery,

during the day,

the cats toys We had ordered from Lazada arrived, We had ordered 3 battery operated fish, a couple of silicone fish that attach to suckers that keep them below the surface of the water, and a remote controlled mouse, although looking at the size of it, the mouse looked more like a medium sized rat,

in the evening We popped over to Friendship, We had forgotten to buy some beef for Friday nights stew, the cats were in their room so I played with their toys to make sure they all worked, so on Saturday when Diana has cleaned their pool they will be playing with the electric fish,

but for tonight, it was out with the mouse/rat, which they really did not know what to make of, the controls were quite simple, full speed forwards, or backwards, the direction at the whim of the small front wheel, so it went where ever it wanted, still great fun for Diana, after a time we put the little critter away and settled down for our evening's television,

for tonight The Search for the Nile, although a little dated, it was made by the BBC and aired in 1972, it was a splendid start for the 6 part series, we watched the first two episodes as Burton and Speke meet and became friends, travelled to Lake Tanganyika, Speke travelling on to then find and name Lake Victoria, and the return of both of them to England as bitter enemies, We both thoroughly enjoyed watching the first two parts of the series, as an aside way back in the late 1980s I was SCUBA diving and catching fish in Lake Tanganyika, at Mpulungu as it happens, with a wholesale fish supplier and friend Neil Hardy, looking for new species and finding one, I do have some underwater videos of the trip somewhere, I must try to find them, also worth mentioning is that on My return to the UK I was already ill on the aeroplane, I went to the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, where I spent the next 10 days in isolation, but that is another story! and with that we were off to bed.
