30 Dec 2026 – A Christmas wish and a possum tale.
We are fairly certain that Junior Miss has been very naughty this year.
Brush-tailed possums wee on themselves and lick their paws to cool down. It is currently 33oc in the tinny.
No matter the time of year, a kind word and a kind deed are worth more than all the riches in the world. My TL and I hope you spread your warmth and kindness generously over the festive period and we wish you all the very best for 2026.
Kind Regards.

Junior Miss has been hanging out with us most days. My True Love takes her photo every day. She doesn’t mind. She was a quite a bit smaller when she first started sleeping over. Occasionally she is evicted by big mum and baby possume but we haven’t seen them for a while.
Junior Miss today.
This spot is quite close to the tin roof. It is 35c degrees today so she got quite warm.
So she found another spot closer to the ground.
Whatever works!
Here is a photo from a few days ago. She likes the oil drip tray so my True Love cleaned it up for her.
All is well. We are all tucked up inside in air-conditioned comfort, except for Junior Miss. It will be another hot day for her tomorrow. Hopefully she will cope.
Take care, everyone.
Kind Regards.
Tracy.

Still suffering and not just because of the chocolate. I must reform (new year’s resolution?) and prioritise my waistline (currently lack thereof) over my blog. So when all else fails, post a photo!
