The bedframe arrived over the weekend, and has been built. It is so comfortable! We built the bedside tables as well.
The olive tree has been planted. The chilli's have yielded a great harvest, and the lemon trees are doing pretty well.
I am all better now. A day of simple relaxing (the first in a long time, what with work, the Boy, moving house, the cats, clearing the garden and the like) and a good night's sleep (in a bed, and not a mattress on the floor) worked their dependable magic.
The Baron is enjoying playing with all his new gardening tools. He is determined that everything we grow will be edible in some manner, and so is spending hours clearing the beds and working out crop rotation plans.
The Boy was awarded with "Achiever of the Week - Year 2" for actually completing his week's work in the time allotted (rather than talking to his harem of girlfriends). Nice one, Boy!
Harvey has been accepted into the Feline Gymanstic Team (UK), after a stunning performance with Da Bird, kindly sent by Pat from Minnesota. We can't get them in the UK, so I will have to keep troubling fellow cat fanatics to buy and ship them on the cat's behalf. At the moment, he is sleeping after his latest training session.
Frankie has learnt that he cannot walk down the stair bannister. He has also been caught snuggling with Willow on the new bed.
Ellie has had some digestive problems. Probably caused by sampling the chilli harvest. Silly girl! She still eats my plants, but has taken to sitting on the Baron's lap late in the evening.
Charlie is just wonderful. He is a whole new cat. When we brought him here, he realised we had moved but had not left him behind. The newfound level of trust is astonishing, and he has started training with Harvey for the Feline Gymnastics Team (UK) . He may lose some weight now. I caught him cuddling Harvey last night as well.
Willow likes to walk along the fences in the garden. She looks so beautiful sat in the trellis work. She is a lovely girl, so friendly and trusting, despite having been knocked over and left.
Hollie has lost a lot of weight, but has started to eat again. She still likes to hide, but is currently on the windowsill above the radiator and is watching the world go by. However, since I live in the bottom of a cul de sac, there isn't too much for her to watch.
The rottweiler puppy is due to be born the first week in December. We just need to find out whether she has enough dogs for those on the list. She is expecting 8 puppies, but the sex isn't known yet. Puppy ultrasounds just aren't that helpful!
The fish are swimming in the pond.
LOL at the Baron and his crop rotation. How big is the garden? (And why am I betting it's smaller than my garage?)
I'm so glad Charlie is doing better. All your cats are so pretty and it sounds like they are settling in well.

It is about 30 square metres. Ish. I suspect your garage is much bigger, but probably doesn't have as many worms!
I'll post a picture soon.
