This is a picture of the piece of stick we got out of the 'cut' on Aidan's eye. It's been there for about a month now. Lately it's been getting pussy and we've been able to get junk out and tonight the piece of stick came out. It's about a 1/2 cm long and about the thickness of a sharp pencil lead. Hopefully there's not more, we shall see.
Mixing paint, the old fashioned way. Add the color or colors you need to achieve your goal and stir and pour.
There are no commercial mixers in Guinea, that we're aware of.
Getting the color you want can be tricky especially if it's in the brown family, it often has a purple or rose tint to it.
It's a trick to add enough color but not too much. Once you've added to much then you try to add more white and the story goes on...
We're working on painting the dorm before we move in.
We buy oil based paint in 5 gallon buckets and color it ourselves. Then the painters add some gas to it, not completely sure why.
Our creature lover Aidan spotted this monitor lizard behind the guesthouse where we're living currently.
Pete was able to sneak up and take a few pictures.
