Hello, Possums!

Since commencing insulin injections last year, Nick has been very conscious of walking 10,000 steps a day.  This generally takes him about an hour and a half - so he fits the exercise in where he can, around his shift-work.

Lately, Nick has been walking of a night.  He encountered a Common Brushtail Possum at the waterfront reserve near our home several times.  As it seemed the possum was a regular at the park (and quite friendly), we have all visited several nights this week. On most occasions we have seen a few possums, including a mother piggy-backing her baby. 

They were out much earlier last night and we spotted at least five different individuals.  The mother and baby came down to share apple with us and it was lovely to see them so close.
