On the beach today a juvenile WBSE took way too much interest in Finn. Finn's too big (I think!) for it to successfully attack but maybe it was recently independent & a bit too hungry!! I called the dogs in close for the rest of the run but it still followed the three of us for nearly a kilometer!!

Start of the burning season! Will be a while before I can light up the bush though...and get into this year's cool patch burning....4mm of rain really wasn't enough to wet the peat layer!

Here's a cool photo I took this morning... walking in Rocky Cape National Park we spotted a tiny baby White-lipped Snake on the track. It suddenly wriggled forward, to get away we thought...but no...it grabbed a skink right in front of us!!

Big hail storm came through this arvo ...smashed the garden...and me as I tried to separate my on heat house cow that had got in with Big Ted during the panic! (Ted is too heavy for her plus...the power is off so electric fence was not working!) I got several big hits and am a bit bruised!

Keeping busy while my knee recovers...jobs where I can keep my foot elevated lol... In the shed I have started processing this year's quinoa crop......and when I get sick of hand threshing quinoa... I can move to the kitchen for cutting and drying my huge monzano chilli crop!

How to exercise the dogs while waiting for knee surgery (torn meniscus)..... still a bit uncomfortable but it worked well!! Dogs got a good run and my knee was only a bit sore after the 4km ride but not nearly as sore as after yesterday's 500M slow walk!!!

So...after digging up the spuds it was morning coffee time when this happened! I'll often get one Swamp Antechinus popping up onto the front porch but FOUR is a first lol
