Do you wake a sleeping carpet snake or just work around it? My 2020!
2020 for me has been a year of learning to live with the uncomfortable! My first wedding for 2020 was in the glorious Bunya Mountains! It included a guest that I had to keep one eye on, but decided it would be best to work around and leave the sleeping carpet snake alone!
