Africa III - Toto III

Heavy, gale driven rain for most of the morning, then the wind moderated and the sun came out sporadically - but I still stayed at home. Yes, plenty to be done with much achieved so forfeiture of birding will eventually contribute to the final goal! Back in Africa more birds await, which seems to be having a desired effect as readership has sharply risen since we started this series - well done Toto!

 It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rains)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

 The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
