another new skill

i got lottie a bike on ebay for £12.61

skate park needed a visit
but this was too high and steep and we had to admit defeat for today but will try again another day with no-one watching and no-one rushing
(i was the same with the diving boards...couldn't do it unless the pool was empty and i had all the time in the world to pluck up the courage and go over the edge)

spooky...

on my way to work i saw this boat in the harbour
with the mist swirling around it and only the lights visible, it was a bit of a scooby doo moment

dream house

we've been discussing what type of house we would live in

this is mine which i fell in love with back in 2000
(dido's video for "thank you")

lottie would have all mod cons and a luxury apartment in a city centre
ellie would have a small holding for all the animals she wants
(and servants to do all the hard work that goes with it)

today's titter

a new profession

"i'm a lumberjack and i'm ok...."

the elder tree in the garden is half dead and half thinking about it

i climbed it, i sawed it, i sweated, i scratched skin, i got spiders down my bra and bark in my mouth
but it is done (save for a few branches little me could not reach) and now we have masses of kindling and logs for winter

but i'm feckin tired and my arm hurts

new skills

i'm getting the hang of this

feeling more confident

nope it's too high

i'll stick to what i'm comfy with
