Basil's been digging up all sorts of strange things from the backyard since we got here. The latest is quite possibly the weirdest, even scariest so far. He's found a gold sequin covered pair of … how do I describe this... Christmas Antlers in a shallow hole he's dug in the middle of the back lot behind our main backyard, the bit that used to be a veggie patch but the same size as a normal suburban property. I'm beginning to get worried again about what else he may find, so I'm keeping a very watchful eye on any new holes he may create out there.
Paula and I started out towards Lonny today, but turned around about half way to the Midlands Highway due to the extreme winds. Our little car was being blown around all over the road, especially when a truck passed by going the other way at ludicrous speed for the conditions. We got in behind a campervan just before we turned around. It was a primary deciding factor, no way I wanted to be hit by bits of it as it broke up from being turned on it's side. We'll go tomorrow.
Basil spotted the ducks again on our second walk, they were already in the water so he just stood on the bank watching them for a while. He's not a great lover of the water. I introduced him to a local natural rock ocean pool back when we lived in Kiama (NSW) he jumped in to me, but panicked and scrambled out again as quickly as he could. He's not been back in the water since.
I can't help but wonder if there is also a gold sequin covered deer under your back yard also. Good move on turning back, it was horrible up here in Lonny yesterday. I had a delivery up at Rocherlea & the wind was so strong up their I had trouble opening the ute door. Much calmer today though
ReplyDeleteNot so much worried about gold sequin covered deer as gold sequin covered children. There have been some very strange things come out of that yard, things that make no sense to bury in the first place.
