Boys

Last night before bed, I went out to have a look at the boys and check that they seemed ok. Baby was happily munching away, but I couldn't spot GB. I thought he might be in his stable, but then he appeared from behind the much skip, which is where he stands when he's getting out of the wind/rain. He hurried over and looked at me as if to say "What's going on? I should be in bed by now!", and then followed me over to his stable. I pointed, and he went inside. Then he followed me back out again, and stood on the concrete looking at me as I went back to the house.
This morning, Mike went out to give them their breakfast and they were both standing in their stables, waiting for him, as if their doors were shut. However, they can't have been there all night: there were no wet patches, and there was less poo than usual. We note, however, that one of the piles of poo in Baby's stable looked very much as though it has come out of GB's bum.
(I did leave the camera out there, but it was too dark to really check where it was pointing and it turns out that where it was pointing was 'mostly at the sky', so no use!)
In other news, I have wasted far too much time today trying to move my tab bar back to where it bloody well belongs, below the address bar: the new version of Firefox disables to old about:config work around. A couple of people report having found extensions that fix it, but others report that you have to re-do the setting every time you open Firefox. There's supposedly a way of doing it in the config files, but I tried that and it made no difference. I'm going to set Mike on it. |

Ok, not quite all of the bluebells are over:
Strangely, all of the ones that are out in the open are running a bit later than the ones under the trees, when I'd have though that it would be the other way around.
No idea:
One of the places where Jodie likes to lie is under the horse chestnut in the front garden. Normally, this isn't a problem in any way, but lately she keeps bringing sticky bits of leaf bud in on her coat, and then they get stuck to the carpet, and then I walk on them and get sticky patches on my feet.... Yuck. Oddly, even though the trees outside our valley have been covered in candles for weeks, it's showing no signs of coming into flower; we'd have thought that it would have a good year, as it's next to where the big leylandii used to be.
(Our wisteria is also showing no signs of flowers, but it appears that this may because it didn't get pruned last summer. At least, we didn't prune it. Shame, but we'll know for next year.)
We had the windows cleaned, today: TWWOTV said she was getting hers done, and it would only be another £30 to have ours done as well. They needed doing, but we'd assumed it would be a lot more than that! The conservatory looks a look brighter, now. Unfortunately, it has rather shown up where the insides of the windows are dirty. |
