i feel 'all grown up' now, having spent the last few hours mowing the lawns and weeding a very overgrown flower/plant bed outside the conservatory. And you know what? i really enjoyed it! Can't wait to see when (if!) the plants I've managed to de-weed will grow... and what they'll grow into! We have a rather nice garden, but it has barely been touched for about 9 months, since the pervious owners moved out. But we're going to make it look wonderful!

Toby is doing wonderfully. He is very very friendly, although still isn't the biggest fan of being picked up, but today I held him for a bit, then popped him up on the sofa with Ben and me. He proceeded to stay there and snuggle up in between us for about 20 minutes.... we even managed to get a photo of the 3 of us with the self-timer on my camera. Unfortunately Sammie was asleep, it being the day time... out next project is to get a proper 'family portrait'...
