It’s been mission impossi-blog this week for me I’m afraid guys and gals. I’m currently living on a building site so alas my concentration levels have been shocking and I’ve been spending my time after work clearing bits of wood and plasterboard from our home renovation to help keep the labour costs in check.
Here’s a pic of Affiliate Stuff central at the moment: -

The old wall that our builder (and next door neighbour) is trimming off is connected to my office which should neatly explain why I may not be fantastic at talking to you guys for the next couple of weeks! As you can see both Duncan and him are sporting lovely ear muffs to protect them from the din so there’s not been a lot of work going on with me this week.
I had meant to do a bit about how the A4U Awards nominations were now open complete with lots of detail about various people I’m thinking of voting for (haven’t made up my mind properly yet), however I seem to keep on getting migraines for some reason. Not sure if its the noise or the 6 whisky and coke I need to calm me down in the evenings re: my concerns with what’s just happened to my formerly lovely home!
Finally….
Because it’s been a while since I posted a pic like this, and I’m famous for them I thought you all might like to see what we found in the void of a roof we are removing to increase the ceiling pitch in our kitchen: -

As you can see, Duncan is expertly modelling a lovely carpet python skin from behind our dust sheeting. It’s not the only snake skin we found behind our walls, but it’s certainly a crackingly big one! Life is never dull here in Australia that’s for sure

Glad we don’t have snakes in Ireland

That snake skin is huuuge! Watch your kittys don’t encounter something that size or they might make a tasty snack for it!

I dunno wether i’d be more terrified of the snakes or the spiders :/
Do you know what type of snake it was from? What if it got in the house.. would it randomly attack you? :s

We had snake skins in our garden, about the same size – eventually we saw the snake (about 2 meters long) http://www.aguawebs.com/bits/snake1.jpg
Keeps the rats and mice away though
