Then there was a Camel...

I looked up out if my trench and there was a camel (dromedary, I know...) looking back at me. Quite a familiar one, because it was the same that came grazing on our site yesterday. It belongs to gypsies, gypsies who actually sent the beast to scout our field.
A gypsy-boy came to pick it up after a while and had a good look at what was going on.
I liked it better when the gypsies were on our side, like in Bulgaria, but at least here we have fierce Bedouin warriors who make ewok-noises as they wobble around.

I don't want to worry you, but apparently…
“Bollywood legend AMITABH BACHCHAN narrowly escaped death this week (begs29JAN07) when he was kicked in the head by a camel on the set of new film EKLEVYA.
The 64-year-old actor, who plays a royal guard in the period drama, only survived the potentially deadly blow because his skull was protected by the traditional Rajasthani turban he was wearing for the scene.
Bachchan is reported to have suffered some dizziness, and is thankful he was not severely injured.
Director VIDHU VINOD CHOPRA says, "Mr Bachchan kept saying, ‘The turban saved my life.’ "I would have never believed it happened, but then we spotted the camel in action on the monitor."”

Better find yourself a turban…

(there, I commented, happy? (-: )

cavities and camel toes, so that's what archaeology is all about...
