We had no water this morning so I had a big panic as my hair desperately needed washing. It was beginning to resemble a birds nest more and more. Luckily the water situation has been fixed now so I am no longer expecting to hear a chirp from my head any second now.
The monkeys and I are getting along a lot better now. They don't run away when they see me now and I'm holding all my reserve together not to run away when I see them too. I'm even getting to recognise some of the troop. There's one without a tail, which I call Stumpy (until I find a better name for him although that seems to have stuck). There are a couple of youngters, which are very cute and there's one who is still being carried by his Mother.

When they're on the ground she puts him down and lets him play. He is very tiny. I saw him jump onto a low branch yesterday, which he just swung from because he didn't know what else to do. As soon as they go up a tree though his Mother tucks him under her belly quickly and bounces away with him. Their tails twisting around each others.
