Pieter lectured me at length about how late I was, but once the sun had set he stopped moaning and we worked together to get the high walled bush corral ready for the fight. The main tasks were to clean the ground of the horse and cattle shit and then to get the tall brazier lamps into position. It was hard sweaty work and we had just finished when the first of the crowd started to arrive for the fights. I was already tired from walking all day and then working on the corral, and now I had to fight! |
