We have been luckey the past few weeks, The tempriture gauge is stuck between 25c to 30c, just warm enough to greatly appriciate the cooling effects of amber stuff after hours! Glad that hot air has gone east! porbably where it came from in the first place

Well it looks like Australia's colder season has just about come to an end. This year the coldest we had at my place was about -3 overnight with coldest temp during he day of 7

It nudged 30 last saturday with mid to high 20's the rest of the week
25 at the moment at 9 a.m. today

The snakes are starting to get about too, sporting their fresh shiny skins (at least until i ran them over ) really dont like those slippery little buggers
The photo is a brown snake ,very fast and aggresive (most common snake found in my area)
Adds a different prospective blitz and parts hunting in summer

A 12 ball is faster!! if a little untidy!

Yes ,nothing quite as satisfying as a snake seperation

[aj.lec]

Hit 31 degrees c today
Unfortunately as mentioned previously this brings out the little slipperies
Bit close to home this time ,dogs bailed a 3.5 footer up on the front verandah
always a worry with the kids running around
It didnt get the 12 ball but it got the electrical conduit a couple of times followed by a head seperation with the shovel
satisfactory outcome with no dogs or people bitten (bearing in mind this species or its near relatives ,comes in the 10 worlds deadliest snakes)

Personally, I never kill snakes with a shovel.
They just don't make shovel handles long enough...
