Seeing double...
What a scorching day - my thermometer read 26c this afternoon. I felt quite worn out as I slept really badly last night, waking up at around 5 and then finding it hard to drop off.
Fluffy the Frog Slayer was caught with a baby frog tonight and promptly SAT ON IT in an attempt to avoid another grounding. I picked up the tiny body and it was limp :( I put it in the pot pond and it floated upside down still and lifeless. Then I placed him at the side of the pot and thought I saw his sides move. Back in the pond he went; again floated motionless. Then...a little movement of the legs and he was away. Phew. what a relief.
More chaos in the house...someone wants the bunk beds from K's room so all the clothes from the now-departed wardrobes had to be packed away or redistributed. Now the beds need to be dismantled...
Why do home improvements take so much time, cause so much mess and seem so complicated?

Lovely photo. We've not been as hot as you today; overcast and threatening rain all day...still a pleasant temp. though. Take care dismantling those bunk beds!!! Not the easiest of things to take apart.

Oh yes it was sweltering here too yesterday! I love the picture. Home improvements are on hold here for the same reasons you quoted!

Interesting! I've never seen birds like that. What are they?

yes, the chaos of a room change is always worse before its better. I love the fresh look of a rearranged room :)
