They do have sweet faces Aunty Rita :) Possums were my favourite animal when a child. That was changed when one day chunks of possum hair were found on my toothbrush when about to brush teeth (when had water tank in the country). Later further destroyed when opening front door and showered by maggots falling from a possum carcass above doorway. They are other stories ...

There have been many storms Aunty Rita, and more to arrive, which is very unusual for winter in Australia! Our storms are supposed to be in Summer - and not this extreme!

Modroom, it's looking at where the food bowl should be in Jack's Castle!
