Arthur made this at forest school

 Not sure what it's supposed to be (something about a turtle), Arthur's left it out to dry in the sun.  Looks more like something Arwen produced.



I think this is the coolest place in the house

 Stupid dog





Sneaky morning dog walk

 I took Arwen out for a sneaky dog walk whilst it wasn't too hot.  She managed to find another baseball.

Wow. Chicken in a chicken soup

 I quite like Waitrose's chicken and vegetable soup for lunch when working from home.  There's occasionally a tiny strand of chicken in a spoon full when eating it.  I bought some more yesterday and cooked some for m lunch and there is actually large pieces of chicken breast in there.  Either i've been very unlucky over the past 5 years i've been buying it or they've listened to customer feedback and have actually started to add proper bits of chicken.



Fruit trying

 Our local food market (corner shop) has a strange mix of fruit available to buy.

Although Arthur still refuses to eat fruit (don't ask), on Saturday we had some kumquats, lycees and a mangosteen.  I've never had a mangosteen before.  Not bad.



Good look

 Flo had her hair in a plat all day and tired to take the bands out last night on her own.  April was out so I had to cut them out.  Good look though Flo!



Making the most of the garden

 Pork chops, corn and potatoes on the bbq.



They do like each other

 Another photo of the animals.  This time it's Josie's turn in the sun.

New Kids on the Block

Just had a quick pint in my local and a song from New Kids on the Block came on, Step by Step.  I recognised it straight away.  I only know this as it was on the first album that I ever bought.  How my musical tastes have changed!
