Ozzie Pool Elephants

Picture: Brenda Rudolph

Because we both hail originally from the Dark Continent, Steve Bean and myself immediately thought about what elephants do, when we spied these pool noodles in Ivan and Branda's pool. The night was balmy, the water was 29C, and good friends were all around. So we cooled them down a little. It was loads of fun. For us. Not sure that Richard Fairhead quite understood these crazy Zimbos.

Just in case you need to find me!

I am staying with Ivan & Brenda Rudolph this weekend, in Wurtulla on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, where it has been raining since I arrived, two sharks have chomped off people's hands (don't they have Health and Safety here?) and I am discovering the local version of Joburg's Hadeedaa birds, cawing away nicely in the garden somewhere.
