Two squished green snakes were among the notable features of this Sunday's excursion - a good reminder that their live cousins are likely to be stirring in the lovely warm Spring weather. We didn't meet any on our scenic riparian ramble along the South Pine, but they must have been there. Big Donk flew solo this week, both setting the trail and cooking vast quantities of very tasty "piyah!". He didn't think we'd get through the contents of three large baking trays, and nor did we - but there was nothing left at the end of the evening. And there was not much ice cream or fruit salad left either....Many thanks to Big Donk for a great afternoon and early evening!
Creatures other than snakes are also stirring, and Miss Demeanour sported two ticks in her hair when she got back from the walk, while Make an Offer was horrified the day before to find that a leech had made its way right up her leg and turned itself enormous on her lifeblood. It's a dangerous world out there - take care, people.
Floater is now well over a third of the way on her 1000 km expedition in Western Australia, and we've been delighting in the pics she's been sharing. Here's her presentation of a selected few...what a great trip!
Superhacker arrives in Brisbane this week for her biennial Australian trip. We're hoping to see as many as possible at a Hash-formal soiree on Saturday night ("What's a soiree?" "French for piss-up, mate") and then her UQ run next Sunday.
And here are some images from Sunday, courtesy of Cash Converta, Saucy Sous, and Snappy:
