I'll see you Friday

It’s early Tuesday morning and we’re leaving shortly to drive for an hour then pick up our hired house-boat. I don’t expect to be able to post while I’m away and by the time I get back it will be February. I can hardly believe a month has gone already. The day we get back we are going to community lawn bowls that evening (Friday) and seeing two international films on Saturday. We have lots to look forward to in February. We have another four international films to look forward too. We are also playing community bowls each Friday for the month so that should be fun. So I hope you all stay safe and well and I’ll see you next month. I do hope a crocodile doesn’t eat me. Do I REALLY need to say that’s a joke? I suppose I do. That’s a joke, folks. No crocodiles where we’re going. Just a few sharks maybe – or maybe not. The photo is of a house-boat we hired another time. I think today's is sort of a box on floats. If we were younger we could make our own.

I did wonder about the waterway that you are on, no alligators or crocs? I would never swim anywhere in Florida except the pool lol Have a great time

@JudyEv I never trust that crocs or alligators can't go beyond where people might think, any body of water is possible in my head. But I am glad you had a great time.

The crocodiles are all well north of here - miles and miles away. We had a great time thanks.

@BelleStarr At the moment, the nearest crocs are 18,000 kms (11,000 miles) away so I think we were pretty safe. .

I will hopefully be doing a few over the next week or so. I took around 145 photos but lots are doubles and some are not worth keeping.

@JudyEv I read so many horror stories but also see many diving so was curious how dangerous the waters are.

@noni1959 It is a very calm river so the only real danger would be diving into shallow waters.

We were on a boat ride - a package tour - and suddenly right when we were in the middle of that vast river the boatman tells us that the river is infested with crocodiles It was supposed to be a pleasure ride (lol)

We went up and down the Murray River in Western Australia. There is another Murray River in South Australia but it is much bigger than 'our' Murray River.

No, we didn't get eaten and I even held a snake at a small zoo we went to. That was fine but there was a sign on one path saying to be careful as a venomous snake had been seen in the area. So maybe I was lucky I didn't get et!

@judyev An international film festival is just what's called for in this day of formulaic blockbuster nonsense with the usual cast of pretty boys and girls who turn up in every film. Forgive me for harking back to Paris, but when I lived there in the 80s the art house cinema in the bowels of the Centre Pompidou had a 3 month season of Indian films, 3 films a day, and with a pregnant wife who couldn't waddle to far this was a wonderful place to go. I adore Indian cinema, even if it's not in English and has no subtitles. Haven't a clue what was going on but it was ravishing. These were the old style Bollywood of course, not the derivative, formulaic stuff churned out nowadays. (Feeling just a tad judgemental tonight). Enjoy the boat.
