Night watch.
I know I’ve done this one so many times but this cat always makes a beeline for Gruff’s bed. He woke in the early hours after a bad dream. Luckily he had a happy purring machine to soothe him back off to sleep.
The pillow was quite happily shared, there was no scratching nor biting (from either party).
Tall enough for eggs.
Gruff has grown a full inch since April this year which means he can now lift the lid to the nest boxes, reach his hand in and feel for an eggs. Hopefully he won’t get a grumpy peck!
Welcome to July.
No don’t bother, don’t even look outside, turn back now. Go and curl up somewhere warm and dry.
Hats.
You all know how much of a sucker I am for a hat and I know they’re out of season but these hats were far too cute to turn down!
Libraries gave us power…
…robot power. Great picking books when you’re five and obsessed with robot graphic novels.
The best bit about baking…
…is licking the bowl clean! My lot love to taste the cake mixture, you know you’re going to get a good cake when it tastes good.
Flying fur and ants.
Arnie is moulting at the moment and his fur has been happily taking to the breeze today along with thousands of flying ants. A lovely combination don’t you think?
Nearly there.
The countdown is on until the last day of school before the summer holidays. It’s been a long time coming for Millie.
Bugged.
Evie’s got an ugly bug ball at school tomorrow so she set me the task of making her a Giant Mayalasian Shield Mantis costume…
Engage pudding belly.
Normal bellies get full after dinner but my children have an extra special belly they can activate at the push of a button. The pudding belly.
The pudding belly miraculously comes into action especially after a not so very nice meal is half eaten…
Lucky.
This worm is lucky, it was gently placed in our vegetable bed and not into the beak of an eager chicken.
Our new addition…
…to the family. Meet Sparkles, the stick insect. Evie has spent all evening talking to her in her room. She’s quite smitten with her.
Still life with tennis ball.
Wimbledon is upon us, don’t think I fancy your chances as a ball dog Bonnie, you don’t give them back…
Water hole.
It never fails to amaze me how Arnie likes to drink out of Bonnie’s water bowl and how Bonnie is always happy to let him. She never growls at him, she knows who the boss is in this house.
Sun burnt.
I took the kids camping for the weekend and unfortunately, we all got sunburnt. I did use sun cream but the sun was unusually strong for Wales yesterday.
