Hans and the Big Wet Weekend

This is Hans, a good friend of our friend, Shane. Because Shane is living with us at the moment, Hans, who is visiting Australia from Norway, stayed with us over the weekend as well. And we're glad. He's a great guy and was lots of fun. And given how wet and wild the weekend was, we needed that fun. So soon after arriving, Hans was very keen to see the carpet python that picked off one of our girls a week or two ago, so here he is getting up close and personal with the carpet.

Quite a lovely shot of the python (Hans took all the pics on this and the following posting). I must see if I can coax it back out of the Chookery in the coming days so that the remaining chooks stand some chance of not ending up in its belly.

We had some lovely wine-time moments in the spa during the day, at dusk and in the evening.  It's a very relaxing thing to do.

 Over the weekend we copped 250mm and so the creek flooded across the bridge by Sunday evening. This is a rather beautiful photo Hans took, of the flooded creek at night.

Here we are, bright eyed and bushy tailed, enjoying brunch on the back deck while the rain, it continued to fall.
