Sssstill around.

Ssssso...one of the good things about the cooling of the year is that all those slithering and crawling things tend to hide away from the cold. We have had a few chilly evenings of late and have closed up the windows and shut the doors in the evening and the early mornings have felt cool even under the 'doona' (Aussie for duvet).I nipped into town this morning for essentials, like chocolate, and halfway down the drive a big red-bellied black snake slithered out of the way off the road where it had been sunning itself.Yes, they are sssstill around!
