Unfortunately, those were the ghost shrimps, and Mr. Fishy Criminal Mastermind suddenly dissolved into nowhere! Yes, he vanished without a trace, but before he did, Super-Turtle could hear him mumble, “Please, don’t eat me! It was Buthelezi...”
Super-Turtle scratched his head. Buthelezi...Buthelezi... the name rang a bell, but which bell? He knew of Mangosuthu Buthelezi: a Zulu tribal leader who held many prestigious posts including Minister of Home Affairs of South Africa from 1994-2004. But Mr. Buthelezi has never been known to engage in criminal activity-besides, he's 89!!! Super--Turtle thought some more. Something in the back of his mind reminded him of that weasel...or rather, that MEERKAT, Jakobo Nkosi...he, like so many meerkats, was from South Africa, so he would have heard of Chief Buthelezi and might "borrow" his surname! Nkosi was always up to no good and changed his aliases as easily as most people change their underwear: he once tried to pass himself off as Nelson Mandela! But Nkosi was last seen in Scotland...

Yip it is bad. I have just spent the whole day doing laundry and carrying the water from the washing machine to water the garden. First load/cycle of water goes into the garden (I use an environmentally friendly washing powder). The rinsing water got recycled back to be used again in the first cycle of the next load and the last loads water has been bottled into lots of 5ltr empty water bottles I have saved and will be used for the toilet. When we shower we save that water as well and use it for the toilet and or garden. I buy 5ltr bottled water for drinking and save the empty bottles for the water we save from showering . Baby's soaking water goes into the seedlings I have planted in a planter box. They say from Feb onwards we are only allowed to us 50ltrs per person per day. And they are talking of day zero where we will have to queue for water and each person will only be allowed to take 25ltrs. How we are going to be able to do that and still put in a full day at work is what I want to know, nevermind the people who don't have cars. We will also have to pay for it as we collect, so for those who don't have money I don't know what they are going to do.

With this realisation Super-Turtle started putting the pieces together. In Scotland Nkosi was suspected of occult activities near Loch Ness. Could it be that Nkosi was dabbling in necromancy? He may have failed at bringing back the Loch Ness monster but could he have brought back an army of Ghost Shrimp?......
