Some things are returning to normal here. Most of the Enviro Boys have returned to work. Which means I had my weeds mowed yesterday! The local blokes are as precious about snakes as I am, so they were happy to clear the front and back yard for me.
The weather is in build up mode for a thunderstorm, so it remains hot and increasingly humid. (I will get sick of tell you about the weather soon, I guess)
Had a run in with a lizard again this morning. He must have been on the screen door when I went out to turn the sprinkler off. He jumped for safety, straight into the mop bucket at the back door! Of course, he had no grip on the plastic bucket, so was scrambling desperately to get out. Noela the Brave Southern Petal, had to approach and free the critter! All done, with my eyes shut.
Speaking of lizards, my Dad use to talk about 'ta-ta lizards'. I think that is the type of lizards keeping me company at home. Each time they stop walking (running usually), they wave one of their front legs - saying 'ta-ta' I guess. These guys range in size from about 5 cm to about 25 cm - that's the biggest one I have seen so far, anyway. Cute little things, as long as they stay outside.
Wednesday night is the beginning of a sporting week here, being the second week of school holidays. Big football and basketball competitions. I can't imagine how ANYONE can play sport in this heat. The whole shebang begins with a traditional opening Wednesday evening with dancing and music. I am looking forward to that. Maybe some traditional tucker, too. (I had kangaroo kebabs the other night!)
That's all for now,

You know, if you were to cover the yard in green rocks you'd never have to mow the weeds again!
:)
You have no imagination, Daniel! It's all about the challenge.
