Christmas Day was very stressful - every year we "do" Lunch out by the pool - the kids can swim and the parents can relax. The weather looked fine so we moved tables and chairs out there - and laid up with glassware, cutlery and decorations - all ready for the 90 guests we were expecting........
And the rain started!
Just little drops - but it meant we had to carry every table - fully laid-up, the 50m to the hotel lounge - and set up there and on the verandah. Very stressful and no time for pics I am afraid!
So back to the snake - as promised.........
I placed the little fellow in a large cooking pot, and placed the pot in the car park - then called for Preacher the maid (who many of you will recognise from the cover of "Sorry for that!") to come from the cottages where she was cleaning. Here is the snake in the pot -
here is Preacher walking around the corner and, predictably, sticking her nose into things that don't concern her.......
and here is the reaction!!! Retreat the standard 5 paces and shout loudly, expressing alarm and warning everyone within 800m of your findings, while keeping your attention fixed firmly on the source of your anxiety at all times! You can see from the folk in the background that the sequence is correct!
Hope you had a very peaceful Christmas - and I promise to try to post daily......
