What a cutie!
The three baby possums are starting to climb confidently now. Soon it will be time to leave the nest.

My possums are growing up fast
They are so gorgeous. I'm in love with my little family.
It was pouring with rain so I put up an umbrella!

Regrouting my balcony tiles
The grouting between my balcony tiles was becoming discoloured so I regrouted it. Very happy with how it came out. I regrouted Martin's balcony too.

Painted rocks on my balcony
When I was in Cape Town, I bought some rocks from Mikaela, a very talented friend of Jo's, to add to my collection on my balcony. Aren't they beautiful!

Whiskers!
I finally managed to capture the rat that has been living in our kitchen for several weeks. After finally discovering where it was hiding (in a space under the kitchen cupboards), I bought a trap from Bunnings and laid it out covering the entrance to its lair. It took several days to venture out, probably because it got hungry.
I was a bit repelled by it at first but then it gave a little squeak of trepidation and my heart melted with compassion. I fed it some nuts and then let it go in a local Waverton nature reserve, not far from some houses. I wish it well.

Building a cover for my air conditioning unit
I felt my new air conditioning unit was a bit unsightly, so I built a wooden cover to go over it. I'm very pleased with the results.
