Epic morning of de-hedging around the shed today, with the help of two friends. The weather was kind with an overcast sky and some light rain. The chooks over the back were clucking. There was one rather large toad which startled us a bit.
And then…just when we could see the fence through the massive bougainvillaea, we noticed Gucci. All tucked up and sleeping peacefully, right where one friend had been snipping branches. None of our sawing, clipping or heaving had disturbed his slumber…until his cover was nearly all gone of course. Then he started moving. And so did we!

I clicked ‘like’ but I don’t like! Why name him Gucci?
Hahaha. He’s called Gucci because if he comes too close to me, he’ll be a handbag or a pair of shoes. 🙂 He seemed very passive though, he just wanted to be left alone.
I did wonder about that, but he’s huge! You could open a shoe shop!
His head and neck were quite slim. His body had a suspicious bump in it though! He must come for the rodents who come for the chicken feed. The neighbours say they’ve never lost a chicken so he isn’t big enough to take one of the hens. Even the local snake catchers say to leave a python, they’re good to have around.
Good to have around? OMG and I have never ever used that acronym or abbreviation or whatever it is. Really?
Yep. They keep the rodents down. If he got near the house or into the garage, I’d have him moved very quickly 🙂
I’d have a heart attack.
