Meet Martini

Imagine my surprise, having lived in snake-free NZ for over fourteen years, being met by the lovely Martini when I returned to my office at lunchtime.

She's a baby python and I was assured that she could do me no harm ...! She really is quite pretty.

I had her around my neck but then she decided to wrap herself around my glasses. Fearing that she might break those, I handed her back to the teacher in charge of her; she's the 'school snake'.

I'm home at last, at 6:00 and am shattered. 11.5 hours after leaving this morning. Mr Barking has been gone for over twelve hours.

Looking forward to sleeping in the not too distant future!

Night all.
