Two weeks ago, we took our girls out for a nice little ride, with Isolde tagging along next to Arwen.
With our weeks filled with work, the weekends are for riding!
Here’s what the bush looks like through the my very green mobile phone camera lense, but lol, it’s better than nothing!
And here is little Isolde keeping […]
For five weeks, a little filly slept alone next to her gentle mother, but yesterday, something different happened!
… Isolde got company! It wasn’t for the whole night, but for a good half an hour in the evening as we were saying goodnight to all our pets.
The body language is crystal clear: “Hey you! Don’t drop […]
Yesterday, we had another rain in Zinder (!), which makes this one of the longest rainy seasons I’ve ever experienced during my time in Niger.
The rains that come now towards the end of the season are lighter and much “cleaner” than the ones that come in June, often mixed with whicked sandstorms! To see the […]
Our little Sheba is very brave, and we have yet to see anything that will frighten this young Rhodesian Ridgeback pup of eleven weeks of age.
Some things in life however do require a certain amount of respect and precaution, which Sheba sometimes lacks. Not wanting to take the chance of her learning a devastating life-lesson […]
Omelets of various kinds are among my absolute favourite solar oven dishes. The other day, I made a super simple brunch version using eggs, tomatoes, basil leaves and spices. Easy, simple and ready in no-time!
For a more complicated version, I suggest this taste, vegetable-filled famine food omelet!

In the previous Sheba post, Janetlgreen commented on Sheba growing.
We can only agree! Since regaining her appetite after a slight heat-adjustment, Sheba has grown incredibly much in lenght! We are now waiting for her height to catch up as well…
In the meantime, her facial expressions are developing, and as things are currently standing, […]
During the heat of the crisis, the local Swedish newspaper Hallands Nyheter interviewed me about The Famine Scam and wrote an article about it, which was recently added to the web.
Published on March 5th, the article is entitled Falkenbergare kritiska till bilden av svält i Niger. For all those who do not understand Swedish, here […]
Although Sheba is only 11 weeks old, she’s a bundle of energy. The best way to make use of that energy is to feed her with new impressions, which is easiest done with a walk in the Zinder bush!
The bush is only a 10-15 min walk away, and getting there means passing lots of little […]
Last Saturday, we took out Arwen and her four week old filly Isolde for a morning walk.
Isolde was thrilled to be out, so thrilled that Anette and I (and Arwen!) had to keep a close watch at her, so she didn’t venture too far…
After the first five minutes into exploring territory, Isolde decided it was […]
“Is that what I think it is?”
“My very own bone!”
“Yummy!”
“Now, my human is always saying that good food and some sunshine is all you need for a quality moment, and I certainly agree!”
“Finally something REAL to chew on! Don’t understand what all the fuss is about when I venture inside the house to steal Esther […]
