HeeHoo and I always play a speculative game when boarding a long haul flight. WHO will we get sitting next to us I once had a three ton Bishop, unfold next to me, still in his voluminous purple robes, HeeHoo dreads the three ton rastafarian who kicks off his shoes and picks his toenails!!
We travelled separately recently and HeeHoo was playing the guessing game with me via WhatsApp, watching each traveller as they moved down the aisle towards him, sometimes in fear and trepidation.
He just could not believe his luck this time when a young pretty blond gal, sporting numerous tattoos, a closely cropped almost shaven but stylish hairdo, and piercings in every possible location, wearing a scanty little outfit, came to stop in front of him indicating the seat next to him!!
I can just visualise him gallantly lifting her cabin luggage up for her and sweeping away his own belongings onto the floor with a flourish!!
HeeHoo must have been slightly miffed when she dragged an enormous red and white crocheted blanket from her hand luggage and wrapped her scantily clad frame in it, proudly extolling the fact that her 'Gran' had made it for her!!
It transpires, as he wrote copious whatsapps to me, that she was none other than Lacey Jones, the famous contestant in the reality TV series 'Naked and Afraid'!! Now reality TV followers would know well that a couple of total strangers, stark staring naked, are dropped off on a desert island and told to fend for themselves for several weeks... I personally have not had the dubious pleasure of watching this series but no doubt, for posterity, I probably will have to watch Miss Jones at some point!!
Whatsapps with wifey came to an abrupt end once HeeHoo worked his charms on Miss Jones, but I must say I was secretly glad that he had someone of a small frame sitting next to his giant shoulders, even if she did snore gently on his arm for a good part of the long haul flight!!

Great Zimbabwe Visit
Visitors to Great Zimbabwe take precautions!!
This weekend special Zimbo friends of ours paid a glorious visit to Great Zimbabwe en route to Chimanimani. They had been told that the shopping in Chimanimani was 'limited' so they had done the their holiday provision shopping in Bulawayo.
It was their first time to see our country's most spiritual monument but sadly their pilgrimage was disrupted by a troop of monkeys.
Parking right next to National Parks office, Trymore went inside to register, leaving his wife in the car. An entire troop of wicked monkeys instantly invaded the car through the open windows. Poor Sylvia was terrified, she tried to shoo the monkeys away but they were unperturbed and instantly stated to ravage the provisions on the back seat.
Sylvia was unable to scream she was so traumatised so she rushed inside to call for help. By the time help arrived those little demons had ripped open everything they could find, meat, rice, flour, beans, vegetable and fruit, scattering their bounty far and wide as Trymore and the National Parks folk arrived.
Very little was salvageable and it was indeed a sad way to start what turned out to be an unbelievable holiday and trip around Zimbabwe!!
