    I've been Money Tipped!
    Tired, tired tired.

    Dogs, apart from dog dog refused to get in the water. I put kiwi in up to his ankles and he was just horrified. They are exhausted now.

    Mmmm, passion fruit! Passion margaritas at Wahaca are my favourite :)

    You cannot guess the number of times DS and I have called "OAhh! TRAMPOLINE!" today :rotfl: We have a front garden, if not a back one. Sitting on the doorstep with sore fingers and a glass of wine for my efforts.

    Is that Doozerdog?
    Front garden looks ace :)

    I also have a sore finger - managed to get a blister as a result of my gardening efforts this afternoon (sweaty hands + thorn resistant gloves, a lot of what I chopped was holly).

    Home-grown little gem + mini cucumber with dinner though :D

    And I've just painted my toenails to (very almost) match the gladioli I bought yesterday :rotfl:

    worked for my boys too.



    I think that is meant as a guide, otherwise all brothers would be the same height.

    I wonder what my height was at 2?

    There are approx 7-8 inches difference in height between me and my brother. I was just about taller than my mum (though she claimed to be taller than me) - I'm sure she's shrinking though :(

    My dad isn't particularly tall either, no idea where my brother gets his height from.

    Fir is a giant in his family. Hugely taller than his parents. Taller be some way than his brother. My sibling and I ( one parent in common) are the same height.

    Yes, Doozerdog. Twozer was happier sitting on his bed in the hallway than sunbathing.

    I'm glad you're enjoying the fruits of your labour :)

    Had a busy weekend. Village show yesterday, but it was so hot and my knee was throbbing incessantly so I only made it as far as the pub which had a beer festival on. Then later that night (after some very sensible and restrained drinking) I got out of bed to go to the toilet and promptly fainted, scraping my back off the bed which now looks thoroughly road rashed and I also did some kind of minor damage to my shoulder.

    Today we have been next door meeting lots of our neighbours - I thought it was going to be last weekend but it was today. I got stung by a wasp but I think I managed not to be too much of a bore/moron/neighbour from hell. Unfortunately half an hour after getting back I twisted my knee at the top of the stairs and have aggravated something in there quite nastily so I'm currently sitting on the sofa packed in ice like a catch of fish.

    It all starts falling apart once you're over 30 :)

    Yup. He owns it! Supervised most of the work.
