Week three started with glorious sunshine, it's getting hotter everyday. Spent morning in nursery. all four babies doing well, Daisy is still the smallest because she is difficult to feed.There are two sofas and two armchairs in the cottage which badly needed recovering, guess who got the job. Not only cutting and sewing new covers but also teaching people how to sew. Not quite what I expected to do in the South African bush! but very satisfying as furniture looks really smart now. Apart from four baby Vervets we also have four baby bush babies. They need feeding every three hours. I had two of them in my cabin on Sunday night doing two hourly feeds - brought back memories of sleepless nights! Monday. The babies were taken to an introduction cage today. They are attached to an enclosure (the cages not the babies). The idea is to show the babies to prospective foster mothers through the fence. Four females sat in line and watched the babies all afternoon - so a lot of interest, very incouraging.Tuesday - It's Sandra's birthday. She is one of the girls that I travelled with, she is also deaf. The six of us who arrived together have paid to name a monkey for her. She can choose the name for the next orphan that comes in. Seven of us that arrived at the same time and a few others went out for dinner. Lovely food, (chicken,peppers) yeah! meat, two hugh glasses of wine and choclate cake, heaven, lots of laughs, late night and bed. While we were out a new baby came in, found in the road clinging to its dead mother. So sad, Sandra has named him Braveheart. So now there are five babies.Sickbay is getting quite full. One monkey Eddie has stomach problems and three juveniles, Luka, Alec and Grace in the process of being integrated into a troop have been attacked by an alpha male and have bad bites which needed stitches. WednesdayTessa made a belated birthday cake for Sandra. Had a funny moment when they lit the candles and turned out the lights to sing happy birthday but because she is deaf she could'nt lip read in the dark and had no idea what was going on.Thursday off - yipee - raining poo (not raining poo - poo its raining). Got lift into town for shopping then got dropped off at the lodge. Lovely place, nice food, swimming pool and cocktails. Friday most of day spent with babies, pandemonium, Braveheart screams constantly, Daisy won't drink milk, Pickle scratches her face, Whisper and Gordon are normal. Lovely email from Carita saying how much she misses us.Sat -said goodbye to Jan and Paula (from Brighton) second of our little group to leave. Five of us left now. First time on integraction. Anthony a 20 year old long-term volunteer from France has been working closely to integrate two monkeys called Bobby and Larry into a troop. He does'nt speak very good English but explained the procedure really well. It is a long process usually a year and they are five months into it. Afternoon off. Went to one of the local attractions about an hour way. It is a 6000 year old tree called a Baobab. Absolutely hugh (see photos) you can walk inside it, it used to be a bar. You can also climb it, going up ok getting down a bit of a problem.
