We *think* we're ready........

Yet another set-back today. We've had nothing but hold-ups all the way. We'll be glad to get to a peace and quiet place!

The people that were looking after our chooks rang and said to come and get them. They were causing problems at their place. So, I had to go and bag them all up and bring them back to the shed I'd cleaned and stripped all ready for winter. We changed things a bit so it'll be easier for our neighbour to look after them. I'll have to go out and clip one of their wings though, and I hate doing that.

We also killed a Taipan this afternoon, and I was hoping with the shed all clean, the mice would stay away and so would the snakes. They are probably looking for a warm place to sleep. It'll be lovely and warm in the hay in the chook shed. :-/ Little bugger rose up and struck at Al when he raised the spade to chop it up. They are not easy to kill either. I would just annoy it and it would attack me if I tried it. Al had to use a really sharp spade and a lot of strength to chop its head off. He chopped it in half first to stop it moving away.

Tomorrow i hope we have no more dramas, and can get the Van packed ready for an early get-away on Monday.
