Snake

Our pool is overnight like the great green greasy Limpopo river with Mr Froggie living in a comfy water lily and now Mr Snake taking up space in one of the ruddy great flowerpots that take up good sitting space and where I liked to put the bottles of white to stay cool. Plus ca change ....

Looks worse (or do I mean impressive?) than it is: there is only one really poisonous attack reptile here and this one I am wrasslin' is not it.

But still bloody nerve-wracking to see it curving and wiggling across at me like some mini-Anaconda.

I thought it might drown if I held its head under but it seemed to rather like it so i tossed it away after the photo.
