Check out our dinner guest. We did have two roosters and since coming of age they have been fighting furiously with one proving to be the lessor opponent. As a fringe dweller he'd been sleeping in the carport instead of in the chook house with the others. This was his fate. (Okay just imagine a big snake swallowing a rooster..) Anyway it came back last night, we came home from Mum's just in time to see it making it's way to the chook shed! Greg and Izzy wrangled it into a big esky and relocated it in the national park. It was exciting!
I can't wait to be able to put some pix up but things aren't really working out for me today, technologically or otherwise.
Today has been one of those frustrating days where everything seems to be one step forward two steps back, you know the kind where you're trying to get all the louvers and screens cleaned with the help of a two year old who keeps hogging the hose and sprays straight into the kitchen window for a good few minutes while you're 'round the other side of the house, leaving a big mopping job to do as well. You've just caught the dog on the freshly washed throw rugs and then he shits himself on the freshly sprayed concrete while you're giving him a good flogging. The chickens are relentless and scratch up your garden and you rake all the mulch back in not once, not twice, but five freaking times. Your happy when the oldest child's new baby cockatiel discovers where it's seed bowl is finally, but then when it flaps around in there and sends it spreading all over the floor, you're only kinda happy. You fold a big pile of washing but there's another pile waiting for your in the drier and another one on the line... and some more in the dirty clothes basket... the washing up is endless. You got rid of one zit but you got three more. You finally get around to blogging but you can't upload the photos you want so your post really lacks the impact you desired and the autosave is playing up so there's probably another 30 minutes of your life you're never going to get back again.. sound familiar? (except for the dog part, I know..)

Poor Rooster lol.
Good on G for the wrangling - massive!
Was that snake a poisonous snake? I'm impressed that Greg got the thing in to that box. I don't know that I would have let the thing live poisonous or not...and I don't think I'm ever going to be visiting Austrailia.
Both Jenns!
No it's not a venomous snake, I think it's a scub python - a constrictor - it wraps it's body around its prey and crushes it, then dislocates its jaw and swallows it slowly. Noice. (We say "nice" as "noice" when we are mimicking the way "Kath and Kim" say it - that's a good Aussie comedy show - have you seen it?
Oh yeah. They're protected animals so we stuck it in that esky and relocated it down the road some.
thats a big snake
3 years ago a carpet python wrapped around our cat - i pulled it off and relocatated it
