oh what a pair of eyes !

This little kitten surprised me this morning as it shot across the decking like Usain Bolt. What a beauty it was too as it sat and watched me and luckily I managed to grab a few photos. Later I saw it laying on it's back by the log cabin and using it's claws to move along. It looked very funny.

I came back outside in the afternoon and heard a meowing and there was Mum with a mouse in her mouth, not sure how long they have been in the garden.

I painted the bench and the handrail today and managed to rub down a rusty metal chair that I'm hoping to paint tomorrow. Good job I have nt got any special events coming up as my nails and hands now look a mess !

The swallows are really moving about now even stretching their wings. I'm not sure how they manage to stay in the nest. Interesting discovery today was that, not only does the parent remove the poo from the chick but the chicks actually move to the edge of the nest and poo over the side. Charming as we now have a growing pile of faeces on the ground. The hose will be out tomorrow !

Hope everyone enjoys the closing ceremony , what a fabulous games it has been, well done Glasgow :)
