Mid afternoon, Mr Beloved returned to The Room Of Migrainous Hell (aka the bedroom) looking pale and shaky.
“What’s wrong”? I asked, ever perceptive, even in my tortured state.
He held his hands apart about 1.5 metres.
“Brown. Back of shed. I dropped some wood and saw it slither past….”
We’re not sure if it was an Eastern Brown, King Brown, or some other (venomous) snake – but as Mr Beloved says, they’re all part of the genus ahgettawayfromme.
Yep – no more winter in Toowoomba, this year Mother Nature has jumped right past Spring to Summer! There are already bushfires and today was around the 30C mark again (that’s 86 F for you furriners) and it’s supposed to only drop to 17C / 63 F overnight.

OMG, no wonder he was pale, anyone would be after coming face to face with any snake. I've been following your blog for a while, but just haven't commented (sorry). You have a dog, right? I guess you'll have to add snakes to ticks on the list of things to watch out for in this unseasonally warm weather.

Nice to meet you, Trix! Yep. we are owned by Constance Joy Woodle the Apricot Toy Poodle. She has a wonderful temperament and when she was just a teeeny little girl, she saw a GINORMOUS brown snake slither towards the shed – and she did all the right things, barked her "LOOK" bark, stayed still, didn't panic – unlike me, I was screaming and dragging my feet up as high on the lawn chair as I could get them!
