So each afternoon while concrete_man has been away I've put a little water in the kiddies pool and let the rats play. Rat_boy wasn't too sure about it to start with but now each after noon he goes a little nuts when he sees the pool. It was especially great this afternoon after both had had a few tantrums and screaming fits it helped to bring normality (I use the term loosely) back to the house.
I swear just looking at the pictures cools me down, the water is so cold!
One of my favourite smells is the smell of fresh cut grass, but I believe it smells even better when you have cut that grass yourself. I always thought that mowing the lawn was a mans job, but after the first time I mowed a lawn (4 years ago) I realised just how satisfying and relaxing it is, not to mention it's an awesome workout. I mean I'm outside in the fresh air, I have a friendly little willy wagtail that follows me the whole time, I'm sweating it out, I'm alone with my thoughts, no one bothers me and unlike when I clean the house, the lawn stays mowed for more than 10 minutes. I love it, I can't believe that before when I lived alone or when concrete_man was away I would pay someone to mow my lawn.
Even the 4 legged rats love it...I tried to get a shot of her rolling around on her back but she spied me!!
