I agree. Stinking hot the last few days. I've been admiring the toys of the flesh kind down by St Kilda beach. Where was the pic taken? Sorrento?
The brown snakes are around this summer and they are feisty little devils. Agood axe and a strong arm is what's needed. Having said that and knowing where you live I am very nervous as I haven't heard of browns being that far into suburbia. Hope your friend didn't move to Christchurch as that makes snakes easy to deal with!Not sure I am enjoying the hot spell.
This afternoon I moved the mower I had left outside the back door to my garage only to find a brown snake curled up underneath.
Very deadly and very unusual in a suburban backyard.
Scared the living daylights out of me, but so glad it was me that found it not one of my kids.

PS. I have an Aussie mate that married a girl from Newcastle (UK).
She refused to live in Australia because we have snakes, so they are now in New Zealand (no snakes in NZ).
Now I see her point.

Seeing a snake would scare the living **** out of me, what do you do if you see one? kill it or ring an animal society to collect/move it?
An 80 year old female glider pilot crashed her glider here 2 days ago.Don't talk about the wind, one of the aircraft I fly which was parked up with the aircraft engineers now looks like this,

completely heartbroken, it is most likely a write off. According to the tower it was lifted 30ft! by the wind then deposited thus. On the bright side no-one was hurt and the other one which had been lashed down by the pilots has not moved and is ok.

BTW; what sort of plane is that?
