What a wonderful holiday you had. Although I lived next door to Tanzania, the closest I ever went was on the Kenyan/ Tanzanian border to Cottar’s Camp in the Mara. There the nightwatchmen would accompany you from the communial dining room back to your tent for there were wild buffalo chomping the grass outside. The game drives there were amazing and lovely if you really appreciated wildlife.

My Dad became a keen bird watcher and so I learnt all the names of the birds around Kenya and more specifically our garden.

Going back to the game, I am only a volunteer in the Diary project, it’s Meterman80 who is actually tackling it. Granted I have opened every picture there is, whereas he hasn’t, but I have only ever taken one picture to Academician Level within the competition. Latterly I’ve made sure I completed the 30 quests for each game to get the Tallisman or Artefact but only joined the Wiki quite recently.

Before that only my sister and I were friends and she showed me how to TT before it was banned and I used to go back 6 - 8 weeks, i.e. 42 - 48 days and then advance every 8 hours to get the Desktop Awards. The timing of the Awards has now changed but then, you’d get 4 Awards charging after 8 hours and then all of them after the next 8 hours, so every 16 hours you advanced, you got all 12 Awards, so twice in a day instead of once. In those days I had no need for friends for I could TT and get anything that way. It was only when the game put a stop to that that I joined this Wiki and engaged friends instead. The friends I have (44 in total) are all I need because they are very special in that they all visit and gift well and I try to do the same for them.
