Dean came down last Thursday morning to find our landlord out in the back area, with this gun!
What was going on???
Turns out, the meaning of the wild dog barking just moments earlier, was because there were snakes in the back yard! 2 snakes, to be precise. They were all twined together (mating, we supposed) and Mr. Dara was out there trying to scare them off. We didn't get the camera in time to catch the snakes, but we sure saw them!
You see, with the body of water behind our house, the land at the back of the yard has been slowly eroding away, causing the tiles to buckle and sink, revealing the holes underneath. Turns out, the snakes came up through that, right in their cooking area. We watched him for a while, while he put pellets into this gun and shoot a bit, but eventually we had to carry on and head to school. Enough excitement for one morning.
Not many days later, all the tiles were ripped up, and workers began to concrete the back yard. Haha. If snakes aren't enough motivation for some much needed home renovations, I don't know what is!
Happy belated Valentines Day to everyone. Although prefering to celebrate love on any day of the year, couldn't help but whip up a cake that was sent to us from the Smith's in a parcel. Yummy treat.
The weekend before Valentines Day was the Annual Logos Carnival. Dean was involved in his usual capacity as resident Bar-B-Qer for the day, Matt Friedberg willingly lending a much needed helping hand! Master Chef BBQ, anyone???
