photo failure

Yep, technology has gotten the best of us. Well, blinky evan's photos did arrive but I duly deleted them, wooops. Anyway, as soon as evan emails them again I will up load them. Rita and I have just spent a few days down at the Pittwater north of Sydney and had a ball kayaking around and avoiding the various wildlife. Yes we saw no fewer than two pythons about eight feet long, how is that? Rita had just finished saying it was the first snake she had ever seen then after a 12 year wait for that big event she saw her second just half and hour later, how's that? Also saw a goanna, I know, ho hum for wombat folk, and a rather pesky possum that I had to chase away because it was being a pest, helping itself to our dinner. I wanted to see a shark while paddling around but Rita wasn't to keen on that. Anyway, now back in the mountains and it is back to work on the house. The builders have finally left but the work here is far from finished. However, I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. (or is that a train coming at me at full speed?)
