We met up with Marcia and Jason today. But first. This morning Celia, Anne, Josh & Senan, who are Annes sons went for a walk through Mt. Coot-tha reserve. Dog came along too so it could yap at strangers. The walk was going along peachy until this Maltese (dog) startign yepping like mad. There weas no one else around so we stopped to see what the deelio was. as the only grown(sort of) man in the group, I took my spider web breaking stick and edged forward (dog still yapping - but louder). I glanced over to my right and not more than a yard away was, in my eyes, the most venomous snake I had ever laid my eyes on. Whether it was venomous or not is inconsequesntial, but I'm claiming a 'Brown snake', equals highly venomous. For all of us it was quite a scare, but for Celia "John Varty - even when I get the shakes I get the shots" dos Santos. She wanted to get right behind the thant lens and hammer away at the shutter. Great news for all involved, the snake went its own way, confused I'm sure by the dogs incessent barking. Hail the mutt!!
Back to Jason & Marcia. So we went with them to the Koala sanctuary and this was to be the greatest day in Celias life bar none. The reserve was great. Saw some sheep dog herding, fed some more kangs, saw my first kookaburra (sadly in a cage) but the icing on the cake was Celia holding a Koala. The look in her eyes as she held that animal was one of absolute pleasure. A pleasuse I did not even see in her eyes when we said our vows on our wedding day. The tears were close to flowing...The picture is great though, looks like the Koala is holding her boob :)
Unfortunately it was time to say goodbye to our good friends, Marcia & Jason. Till when I am not sure. We'll try again in the week, or maybe in August for Monika & Jeremy's wedding.
