Ears at the bottom of the garden!!!

The weather is slowly improving, the work in the school seems to have come to an end. Hopefully the garden will begin to get back to normal soon.

The main visitors are still the Blackbirds,

There has been some Squirrel activity over the last few days I am pleased to say, I was getting a little bit worried about them. So it was good to know they are still around and still as cheeky as ever.

Trying to sneak down for a nut without being seen.



















But not quite quick enough.
                                               

A quick look,

 A bit of a suck to get it closer,

 Grab the nut and make a quick exit.

In the garden we have some bushes that have been there ever since we moved here 7 years ago. I have never seen berries on them before, however today they have bright red berries on.

I also noticed we have a few flowers in the garden, does this mean it is nearly time for the lawnmower to make an appearance?

One more thing that has appeared in the garden is some fungi. Tony has a piece of driftwood in the garden. I cannot remember where it came from, it just seems to have always been there. All of a sudden it has fungi growing on it. All I can think is it must be the strange weather that has caused these strange growths in the garden.

I think the fungi is 

Jews Ears.

Until the next time...

A very tall cat

The garden is still very quiet, there is only one squirrel calling at the moment. There are a few blackbirds fighting over territory, the robin has found his mate and the sparrows are gathering in the bushes. However nothing stays in the garden very long at all. The tabby cat is still to be seen but the one to watch at the moment is the big ginger and white tom cat. He is there first thing on a morning as it gets light and last thing on an afternoon as dusk falls.
So unfortunately I have no pictures from the garden I have taken none in the last couple of weeks. I did spend three days in bed with a stomach bug, but I am fine now.
I spent another two and a half days filling in a form to claim the new PIP benefit which is taking over from the DLA. They do try to make things difficult, 40 pages long and the same questions repeated in different ways to try and catch you out. It is a good job I have Tony to help me or I think it would probably have taken me 2 and a half months then I would have missed the deadline and would have been left with nothing.

We had a trip to Hull last Sunday to visit Lynsey.

She was so cute when she was little

Biscuit was not very pleased to see us at first,

I am not coming out until you go away!

Pepper wasn't bothered he just took no notice at all,

One of Pepper's favourite spots

Biscuit moved from under the table to the bathroom,
He hid down the side of the toilet.

                                                        
                                                       He was such a wussy puss.

Pepper got up to have a look where Biscuit had gone.

Pepper was amazed

Pepper wanted to know "how had Biscuit fitted into that tiny space?" after all,

Biscuit still has another year or more of growing to do! As you can see he already stands as tall as the dining table now, so how tall will he be in a year? When Biscuit and Pepper stand side by side Biscuit is about twice as long as Pepper. 

Biscuit is only a baby, he wants to play with Pepper. Pepper is getting a bit old to play so is a bit grumpy at times. Biscuit tries to play and is too boisterous because of his size which scares Pepper a little. Lynsey tries to accommodate them both but often has problems. Peppers answer is to spray everything insight especially the electrical things which is quite expensive for Lynsey. Biscuit just runs round the house like a lunatic, sliding round the laminate floor and pouncing on Pepper or Lynsey.

I am sure peace will descend on the household before too long.

Until the next time...
