Was just whipping up a pav in the kitchen when Ad came in and said "one of our chooks is carrying a snake". Crikey, he was right! I carefully took it from the chook (who was pretty upset at me taking away such a catch) and have it in a jar. It's clearly a baby tiger snake. Hmmm. Tiger snakes give birth to 30-40 live babies, I just read, so where are all its siblings? And its parents?!

Was heading back the Tidal River from Pillar Point, and on the phone with Ad - updating him on the lost-car-key situation - when I suddenly screamed, realising that I was about to step on a big tiger snake that was in a shadow on the path in front of me. Whew.
