Possum Galore
A life ‘Down Under’!
'Here's Possy!'
So...just when we thought it was safe to uncover our mandarins...the possum burglar is back from the dead!In the break-in last night a jar of instant coffee was smashed and a loaf of bread nibbled. Time to set those traps again!Update:So...tonight the brazen beast crept in while we were watching TV. Will got up to make a hot drink and reaching out in the darkness to switch on the light he spotted a small horned creature crouched atop the fridge. He screamed out and dashed his hand back sending spice bottles and onions flying in all directions. I cried out in alarm thinking he had done himself a mischief but it was just that flippin' possum! It got a scare too so hopefully will think twice about coming back.
Hey Rain!
So...we have finally had some rain after waiting at least three months without a drop. Our poor garden is withered and we have only been able to save certain plants and trees with the water from the washing machine.Last week rain was predicted and it passed us by yet again and yesterday it appeared that the same was about to happen again but in the late afternoon it finally started to rain and we have ended up over night with 21 mls. Today there have been showers on and off and we have picked up another 5 mls. It is the first rain we have had since we levelled out and set the tanks for Blue Moon but they are nowhere near full. It has not been enough to raise the level of the dam but the ground has had a good soaking and our tank at the back of Frogknot is nearly full again.Everything is has been so dry and brown but hopefully we will now see the return of some 'green'!
