(back) to school

Into P4 for the Boy, and Miss Mouse's very first day :-).

Happy second birthday cats!

As an extra-special treat they got tinned tuna for dinner. They love that with a passion!

The Heavy Horse Show

The kids and I were at the Heavy Horse Show at Kittochside, while MrBorg went off on a motorbike trip. This was just as the heavens opened. And boy did they open! We all had raincoats on but they all ended up soaked through.

Peace reigns..

.. in the little village we know so well. Oh no, that's Asterix, isn't it? Well, peace reigned here too. The kids went out with my Beloved to get a birthday present for their cousin (and ended up at Pollok Park for the third time in three days) so I had the house to myself. Bliss.

Apart from hoovering, potting up some achillea and doing a load or two of laundry, I also had time for a bit of this:

and this:


Aaaaaah.

Pollok Park revisited

Yes, we were back again for an early trip to the playpark (i.e. before it got mobbed) followed by a visit to the Burrell Collection (more of which on my other blog) and some ice-cream. Though the sky was very heavy and thundery-looking, it came to nothing more than a light shower.

Pollok Park again

This time we took Uncle Skipalong (formerly Hopalong) as he had the day off. We had a picnic. Miss Mouse just asked turned to me and said 'Mama, where did we have lunch?' . 'We had the picnic, remember?' I replied. 'No.' 'At Pollok Park?' 'No.' Showed her the photos.. 'Oh yeah, I forgot.' Attention span of a goldfsh, that one.

We went for a wander and met the Pollok Park cat again. Very friendly little cat.

There was much running around and hiding. Can you see her? If not, click on the picture to enlarge!

And again!

I know it doesn't look all that sunny in the picture but believe me it was!
