On Sunday we had a good day. The causeway is still running over but it is really safe. OK well, moderately safe. The creek would still take out a non swimming child but not an adult and there were lots of adults watching them. The water is very cold but I am known as a baby when it comes to swimming in cold water. The kids, of course, didn't even notice. I didn't notice either, after my feet went numb. They all loved it and I enjoy watching 'city' kids do 'country' things.
All the kids played on the cubby as well, climbing the ladders and the nets. Levi remains very competent with his climbing. While they were up the cubby, Jo found a snake in the front yard. It was about 2 metres long and we are now sure it is an Eastern Brown. They are really scary as Hell. It was sighted several times that day but we haven't been able to kill it. Since the weekend we haven't seen it again. Actually I would prefer to get rid of it once and for all. They are fiercely territorial and think that this one may have been chased out of his regular hunting ground by the rain, or washed down in the creek in the deluge.
