Unfortunately the rain last week was very disappointing…After that incredible show of dust from the desert….. There was light rain for a couple of days in the mountains… Slightly more in the Ndoto’s which was good news as they needed it more, and there was a fire up on the slopes so hopefully that was doused… We had a little drizzle, in the plains.. thats all… So much for not cleaning the dust off all the surfaces!!!… The sky became crystal clear again…But the wind is unusually cold.. We have been told that the Samburu fortune teller from Mt Nyiru, who reads the planets and stars says that it is going to rain at new moon… The cloud build up for today and yesterday makes us all feel that me may be right… I heard an interesting story to day from a man we met on safari, that this same person who has predicted this rain, read into that wonderful sight of the moon between the two planets, Jupiter and Venus, back nearly 2 months ago… I will put a picture on the blog when I can, but he sees it as peace between the Samburu and Turkana??… That would be wonderful!!

Other news…We have received a report down in the lower Milgis, that there is a wounded Elephant that killed a cow… Two scouts have left this morning to investigate..Cheetah cub doing very well indeed…
