His strategy is to strike at night, under the cover of darkness - when everyone is asleep...
But we have launched a counter-attack. Seeing that it is now winter, as opposed to summer, we have... moved the compost bin back inside!!! Had to move it outside because of an entirely different sort of enemy (ants) over summer. Ants have probably gone into hibernation now. We do see the occasional, confused, ant in the evenings when we light the fire-place; ants come out thinking it's summer again. So stupid.
It is so beautiful here in Byron right now. Sunny, clear skies, clear turquoise water and 20-ish degrees. Until approximately 5 pm every day. Then the sun retires promptly and temperatures drop by about 10 degrees. Will never get used to it happening so quickly - can never get fire going fast enough even though might have been thinking all day that we won't be needing the fire that night.
Lesson 1 if living in a house in Australia built by Australians: You will always need the fire.

Awesome. Om du inte hade skrivit att det var en bush turkey hade jag gissa på en possum-attack. Jag tar detta som tröst att det inte bara är plus med att bo i Byron istället för Sydney...
