Morning all. Up early for brekkers. Raining out.
Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
We think she* might have been here before - had a similar sized one a couple of years ago in the neighbour's place behind us, and their little dog was bitten (these guys are non-venomous). It may have been a different story if it had wrapped itself around her.
Fortunately, we're pretty snake-friendly here, and if it wasn't for the little dog it may have been allowed to stay. The two neighbours took it back to the nearby bush. No doubt we'll se it again.
*I think it's a she because of the size.

Oh really!?!.....You might get a Yowie!
What part of lamington?
I feel better in the water with a shark than in a room with a snake...a phobia I suppose, I saw my Father pick up my 3yr old Sister just before she stepped on a death adder that was hidden under some grass clippings in a gutter of a new estate.

Off to Clinico Hospital in Malaga this morning. Review of prostate situation. PSA figure obtained yesterday was down.
At least, living on the western side of the city, can get there by train and metro.

I don't remember it, but apparently I was playing on the steps at home in Mt Mulligan, & Mum saw a taipan on the steps & grabbed me.EA01 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 6:30 amOh really!?!.....You might get a Yowie!

Going to O'Reilly's. Last time I was in that area was about 60 years ago, over at Lost World. Didn't have a camera with me then, but saw lots of wildlife & birds.
Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
O'Reillys...ok...going to the Stinson Crash site?
30 odd years ago I went to O'Reillys with some friends we walked about 2 hours to the bottom of the valley . ready to jump into a pristine national park lagoon when a 10 ft eel cruised by, thick as you thigh...so we didn't jump in!!
Then, what happened after I will never forget....beyond the lake there appeared a scantily lad Woman with no shoes, she walked along the edge of the lake for a little bit, look at us, then dissapeared back into the jungle....

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
No, my days of walking that far in one day are long gone I'm afraid. However, I'll keep an eye out for eels and...other wildlife.
When I was at Lost World I heard the story of the Stinson crash and Bernard O'Reilly finding the wreckage when the official search was abandoned. Should have done the walk when I was young & fit.

Forgot my boring entry for this morning.

Cleaner so got away and some small tasks, this afternoon collected the post, dog food and GF Ras el Hanout.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Our friend who picked us up on returning to our nearest AVE station, and has lived here for 30 years, was breathalysed for the first time ever outside the railway station, at 16:45. Inside the station, police were checking the ID cards of all travellers coming off the train. This, coupled with daily police roadblocks, makes me wonder what's going on here. Or what the authorities think is going on.

...or what the Police want their masters to think is going on.
If in doubt, look busy and arrest a usual suspect or two.
