Merry Christmas and Life

Hi Everyone and a belated Merry Christmas.

I was going to post this yesterday but as usual life got in the way. In the morning my partner had a bad fall and in the evening our new puppy was bitten by a scorpion. My partner is going to be okay just a lot of bruising and cuts and a couple of open wounds that are going to take a while to heal and the puppy (Oliver) got off very lucky and did not get much venom from the bite so it has left him with a cough and slowed him down a bit. The slowed down bit we will be a welcome rest but the little bugger scared the life out of us because when he was first bit he raced around the house wailing and thrashing his head about.

Anyway here is a picture of Oliver.

These are two pictures of the tree that was put up by the locals at the end of our gravel and very rough road. I really like how they made there upcycled tree with used beer cans pretty crafty don't you think. The tree is about 12 feet tall.
