Very Much at Home

As a small concession to the heat and the pelting rain we often get, we have a bed inside for the dog.  I grew up having dogs only kept outside and still can't get used to having pets indoors.

Scruff has learnt very quickly to go straight to his bed and lay there.  I invite him in when I put the air con on as it really is stinking hot outside.  He is calm and a reassuring influence for me as I write.

 

And yes - I think the bed is one made for a much smaller dog - but that is not stopping him from curling up and claiming it.

Jigsaw Puzzles

Adrian and I used to love to do jigsaw puzzles - leaving the big 1000 pice ones on the kitchen table over a week or so - and everytime we went past putting a few pieces where they needed to go.

The  kids are now old enough to start doing more complicated puzzles alongside us - so we started with one which Adrian got for his 8th birthday...so its well over 30 years old..

We really need a table to just leave a puzzle out - this one took us about 2 and a half hours to do.

Lillys Second day

Just could not wait to get back to school and learn and play!  I'm so delighted.  I've bitten the bullet too - am volunteering one day a week there - so tuckshop in the mornings, Lillys class in between breaks and Morgans class in the afternoons.  Might as well -  think of all that story fodder I will uncover!!
