up in the air....

next door's cat comes eye to eye with large toy dog (won in tombola last year)





all the fun of a kitten without the responsibility! and less risk of setting off Ix's allergy as cat stays outside...



and the girls and friends created a mural on the shed....(spot the yellow submarine!)




we love our garden! didnt have one for 14 years...not gonna give up* having one now...pottering in evening watering the plants..therapeutic, relaxing...


* exP thinks we should move into the flat next door to him which we joint own still as a buy to let...(pending financial matters court hearing) it has NO garden, but that is not important, says he, I am just being selfish...the kids can play in the car park of the flats... duh!!!

can we build it?

yes we can!

a box...



hmmm...



some time later...




a bit small, so....




yippee!




this is more than just a climbing frame - this is a "built by mum" climbing frame.

with time patience and assistance from the girls.

and a lesson that: "yes we can!" - instructions, an allan key, time...

we don't always need a man around....

and now the flood!

now the garden is under water!

pic to follow...

and i cannot remember what is sitting on the floor of the shed...but am not sure if it is waterproof.... will the lawnmower work again?

Spring will come soon...

On the mouse front: one mouse, grey, caught in the sticky trap....
