bamboo

i made the container and helped with some of the bamboo.
TKM did stirling work with the bits i was disinclined to do!

re the reading:  it just goes to show what makes a great/good book.
Colm Tóibín is one such, just loving my new read.  sad that i will probably have finished it so soon.

i'm racing against the will of the Noah to steal books and destroy them. my plan is to keep the current read in a biscuit tin when unattended.

Noah really has a thing for paper - a dangerous pastime where important documents are concerned.  

hopefully, just as he grew out of cardboard, he may grow out of paper.
but what will come next...?

to give him his due, he's the most loving of dogs, and we are so glad to have the privilege of his companionship & love.  
but we have to have serious words about the books.
