Gratitude

Just a word of thanks to all those who sent massages of support and encouragement regarding the ongoing difficulties between the wallaby and me. For a time there I was ready to give up. The glorified rabbit had almost broken my spirit through a sustained campaign of relentless damage to my garden, watching me from the under growth and sniggering at my feeble retaliatory strikes. At my lowest, I contemplated surrender, The damnable creature had outwitted me. If it wasn't for the kind words of the forum mongers, I would be joining the bouncing rabbit in eatimng my gazania buds, rather than admiring them from my verandah. Instead I was wrenched back from the brink and now am planning my next assault. Indeed in a preliminary skirmish I almost grabbed the bawsted as he struggled away from a poorly planned ambush. I was so close.
My interest in writing this has suddenly evaporated. Thanks and Bye |

I believe they make good eating! The wallyrabbits that is, not the gazania buds. It is odd that protected species should be bestowed on the former and weed status on the latter.
Kangas are such gentlemen and ladies by comparison to the wallyvandals. I almost lost a whole young plum tree overnight, to 1 member of the species, while the kangas nibbled daintilly on rose leaves, and carefully avoided treading on my delecate underthings.
The metre reader man regaled me with a story about his attempts to defeat one solitary wallycriminal from his garden, which ended up with his whole garden being surrounded by an 8ft (that's something in metres) cyclone wire fence.
That could explain why so many wallycorpses are found on the roadside, when they are clearly outnumbered elsewhere by the southern grey gentle people. Perhaps motorists are much more generous in their attempts to avoid hitting a kangaroo? |
