Last night as I made my weary way to bed, I switched off the bedroom lights and crossed the bedroom floor. As I was walking across Liv’s side, I trod on numerous laptop cables and phone chargers and something cable-like which i didn’t quite recognise. As I lay in bed, I began puzzling (in my half sleep) about this weird cable. Something wasn’t right. After about 3 minutes, the curiosity got to me and I peered over the edge of the bed. There was indeed, an unidentifed object lying 30cms from my nose. I tentively reached across and turned on the lamp… I’d like to have said I remained calm… “Snake! Snake! There’s a freakin’ snake in the room!” I bellowed to Liv who was having a (previously) relaxing shower. I don’t know how I did it, but I made it to the bathroom only placing my feet on the carpet 3 times, locking the door, hurling a towel on the floor (to block the gap between the door and floor – quite resourceful of me I thought) and jumped on the loo seat. I refused to move until Liv, who I’m not sure believed me at first, picked up the stiff and definitely dead snake and put it in the kitchen bin. Apparently the dessicated snake had been chewed on, probably by Dolly who likened it to a cat version of billtong.

it was a bit strange. hardly anyone was batting a eyelid. commuters seem to have a zombie-like autopilot – it takes a lot to divert them.
found a pic someone else took on twitter. the swarve gentleman wtih the attache case below is me reaching for my phone…

There’s nowt wrong with the Raven. Resize your photos 512 x 384 and Zoundry’s a breeze.
Hail!
Here are some pictures that have been hanging around for ages!
Snow on our roof.
In front of a high tec train.
The quiet mountain town we went to for our onsen trip a while back.
Ingenious method of keeping snow off the road. Water is sprayed from cats eye like things continuously.
View from the window of our onsen. That cage on the right contained a couple of bears, which i didn’t photograph for some reason!
Mayumi!
Our drink store.
The traditional finery
The resplendant meal!
Tucking in to the Udon noodles.
Me too!
Snow with bamboo.
Pretty genki around here. Looking forward to popping back in a few months!

Good photo’s – shame you didn’t get the bears! Might make it over one of these days.

-
Pretty genki here, too, what with the nationwide warm weather shortage finally coming to an end. Astonishing to see your sheep(?)skin coat is still going strong!
-
good pics jul. like the small bamboo grove.
-
Yes, very well spaced bamboo – I wonder how they do that; ours always ends in a clump.

I can understand you blocking the gap between door and floor with a towel; but locking yourself inside the bathroom suggests you must have thought the snake was a … shapeshifter?
Was it a grass snake? Or maybe a slow worm. We’be seen quite a few this year. Hopefully, not an adder!
Since Dod told me of the snake that came into their sitting room and cruised around, I’m always sneakily checking for one…. what a ghastly experience. In my case, I would have probably left the door open (but I applaud the toilet seat angle), otherwise, how do you know when to open the door? When is it safe????? I once saw minion scurrying across the lawn with a snake in her mouth – I leaped onto the bench and didn’t descend for quite some time – even when cat and snake had long gone on the other side of the house….
For the record, it was a small slow worm.
It had snake like qualities I assure you
sounds pretty freaky and cool Hannah. As I’m about to sleep I’m sure it will infest my dreams
