This is... unusual: an amateur video of a spectacular battle between a group of lions, a herd of buffalo and a crocodile, posted on YouTube, has received almost 10 million views in just over two months.

If you can't see the video, you can find it here or read the full story from BBC News, here. I've spent the last week-and-a-bit wandering all over the country doing strange and interesting things which I'll write about here once I have a chance, and once I've recovered from my man-flu (or "cold" as the rest of the world calls it... ;o).
