The day was perfect
cool warmth inside the tents.
Ahmed forest visited us
with the night. The forest here consists of very large trees,
chiefly beech, oak with cane undergrowth & moss covered ground.
Saw a new blue wood pigeon.
Bears are said to come into the cornfield. We saw some of the residents milk goat, made of spirel thorns.
One man brought 2 flecks meat for elephants to sell.
Mole crickets are quite common here in wet meadows.
23 The night was cold & clear with heavy frost but inside we both broke fast on the step with a last quail hovering lazily above the meadow thongram.
The troops settled I more made 2 sorey (large headed) / S swan (common) / Peregrine falcon + lap demons.
