Oi, the sun’s shining!
I did try to evict her from in front of the PC for a while today by pointing out that in fact that strange lack of pitter pattering outside meant that it wasn’t raining. but I failed so I turfed the Piggies out in the back garden instead so they could trim a bit more of the "lawn" for us.
Then I whittled away at the towel mountain on Duke’s side of the bed by washing 4 loads and drying them all OUTSIDE!!! ( Ah the simple pleasure of not having soggy towels draped round my house…. oh dear, I think I need help! ) i will learn on day that his oblivion to the towel mountain’s growth and consumption of every last towel in our house will always outweigh my stubbornness about insisting that I only wash laundry placed in the correct receptacles on the landing but in the mean time I will wait until I find no fresh towels for me to have a shower before swearing in very un-surrendered wife-ly fashion about the foibles of my beloved and begin the excavation process. Gosh, a sentence long enough to make even a German Romantic proud! Sorry!
When I finally threatened to pull the plug and remove the extension cord from her PC Aprilia came downstairs and Hama-ed. We got the Lion kit as a bonus item from Merry with the Aqua beads and she decided we would do it together. It’s coming on nicely but was rather tricky for her (and not that easy for me - the board is very irregular in order to make it Lion-shaped so it’s not so easy as the normal boards) so we are going to just do a bit at a time and get it right instead of rushing and making a mess, needing to pull loads off etc. She tried to use the pen thing from the Aqua beads but it doesn’t work. Knew I should have got some of those things for putting beads onto the permanent boards. next time! Having got the bug she then sat and filled a heart board whilst I read several chapters of a Roman Mystery to her.
Now I am going to settle in the hammock for an hour with Faust (it’s the McDonald translation Tim, picked by the OU as it’s actually readable rather than the more mind numbing literal translations out there) before enjoying a bit of eye candy with a certain star of CSI Miami (ah those crinkly eyed smiles….)
you have enough towels for 4 loads??
You need your towels, that you stash away
Then he can have the manky ones.

I have MORE than enough towels for 4 loads…. I just managed to do 4 loads of them that particular day - it took me a few more days to find the floor :-X I have considered hiding away a few nice ones for me and Aprilia but he swags them when I hang them to dry on the landing. Think I just need to admit defeat really
