Goat Man, Mouse man, Cat Man and now….Snake Man!
This week I opened up a square steel cover to gain access into a pool pump room that is underground.
Having finished I go to close the entrance cover and notice a snake between the cover surround and the patio.
Didn’t notice it when I went down the ladder though!!
It was between 1-2 feet in length and did not want to be extracted and had been partly trapped by the edge of the cover where the hinges were.
So I had to find a stick narrow enough to get into the area, prop the steel cover open and have a pool net ready to get the snake into.
Mr Snake was not happy!
After a few minutes I manage to get him out and encouraged him into the net. He was then let go down the bottom of the garden.
I recounted the story to a friend – he said the small snakes are the dangerous ones!! Ignorance can be helpful sometimes!

Ouro Preto
Richard has entertained us with his tales of his journey through Spain and Portugal so I am going to try and compete and tell of my latest excursion into the hills of Minas Gerais, Brazil, specifically a town called Our Preto (Black Gold).

Curve Ball!
Well amid all the current craziness that we are all experiencing I want to just write a little bit about normal life and how it can throw you a ‘curve ball’ at any time.
