Tonight when I got home from work I was dragging myself up the stairs completely lacking in engery. Suddenly the adrenalin kicked in and I was ready to fight. No it wasn't Martyn with my latest visa bill it was a foot long slinky little number inhabitin' my stairs.
Yep a snake and not one of those pretty green ones either. So with my eyes firmly set on it I sent Martyn of to get a towel to throw over it. I thought I could get it in the towel then throw it out. But then I decided it might slip through the towel and bite me so after throwing the towel I ran to kitchen for tongs. Thought they would do nicely.
On the third try I managed to snip the little bugger by the neck or there abouts since they don't technically have a neck. Anyway the aim was not to get bit.
Then I made my way to the back door and saw that it was not a brown snake Oh no this little sucker was a red belly black. Oh S---t . So I squished it's little body as much as I could and threw it and the tongs into the yard where Martyn promptly smacked it's little head and said bye bye.
Martyn reckons he could tell this story in two sentences. Saw snake. Killed snake.
So lacking in true literary skills.
So we are moving into the city so as to avoid the wild life in this country.
BYE!!!
