    Why not make a garden feature of it :D.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I hope Noah won't be too much of a handful and put the Captain's nose out. It's not everyone who gets Russell Crowe to play them in a movie :rotfl:

    Less than two weeks :eek: and I jump from one small furry boy to three hairy monsters. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I'm going to buy another padlock today for their wardrobes, everything will then be secure. The farmer has installed some motion sensor lighting round the yard area as well.

    Not a lot else to report on I'm afraid. Today will not be a NSD due to padlock purchasing.

    I have moved some more money into my ISA and done the daily round down of the bank account, it still feels funny to be in the black, long may it continue!

    Have you told Colin yet!!:rotfl:

    My cat years ago loved to get in the stable with the horse, and snuggle up in the hay or straw.

    Hope it all goes well with the move back

    I paused a while, but I couldn't imagine Colin snuggling down in the straw. The not-a-conventional-cat part of him is just too strong in the picture I have of him.
    Captain and Noah would be pointing out a mouse in the manger with their ears and Colin would be watching their ears flicking instead...
