3rd August – Monday

A drizzly start to the day which cleared enough for the washing to dry by lunchtime. Very warm and very humid this afternoon.

Not much happening today apart from a two hour morning tea break with neighbours! This afternoon was spent talking to my favourite company – Telstra! Hopefully they have now sorted out the telephone account and we wont have to have the same conversation again next month.

There are obviously quite a few reptiles in the vicinity. Saturday’s newspaper featured a photo of a scrub python, in excess of 5 metres long, which was captured in the yard of a house not all that far from here. The kind people released it on the mountain behind us! Yesterday morning was passed a snake on the side of the road, again only a couple of kilometres away. We also have a large lizard, probably 40 cms long, living under the caravan. Someone is rather concerned that said lizard may decide to take up residence in his bright yellow clogs!

A nice surprise at lunch time was the arrival of Canada and his wife (aka Gary and Kathy), who have been following us since Mt Isa and last seen at Georgetown. The red wine may have to come out of the wine cellar tonight (need it after Telstra, anyway).

Haven't you taught the Cat to attack yet? Would make a fantastic guard "dog" against reptiles!!
