Monster has not had a good day. He was driven to the vet first thing, having been starved since midnight, to have his scheduled dental procedure.

But, it didn’t happen (an emergency took precedence) so OH brought Monster home 7 hours later a wee bit disgruntled. Luckily he has rallied after large supper and lots of attention.

The Old Ladies spent their afternoon around the house eating the better grass.

And I have a new hobby – constructing a mini brick Bonsai Sakura tree that I was given for Christmas.

The tree has taken me three afternoons to complete .  Total relaxation just following instructions and thinking about absolutely nothing. I needed this.  I didn’t realise I did until I was totally absorbed building my tree.  I am feeling very accomplished.

I will go back to making my sheep soon.  I just needed a complete break.

After tree building, I went outside to find the Old Ladies looking for me.

I only had to shout “Fivla, Vitamin” and they were there.

Vitamin was even trotting towards me as she knew I would let her go to bed and obviously buckets of food would follow.

An old lady on a mission.  Vitamin would be the one who got the seat on the bus, no matter what.

(I am feeling very relaxed and with a glass of wine so I am now looking for more mini-bricks trees to build!)
