A mouse, a snake and a swim.

So...today Phoebe was up at 6.00 am and out watching the hens in the garden.While we were away collecting her in Brisbane we caught a mouse in one of the traps. Phoebe bravely held it out for the 'chooks' and Iris leapt at her trying to get it. Phoebe threw it and Isis ran off with it victoriously.Deranie, Phoebe's mum told me on the phone the other day that she was worried about snakes when Phoebe was walking down to the toilet. I reassured her that I had never seen a snake down near the toilet ever.Guess what Phoebe saw when she went down to the toilet today....a big, long, browny, black snake slithering past."That was creepy" she said.She and Daddy went for a swim in the dam this afternoon and after tea we played Cluedo...I won!I'm just letting you know.
