April fools

These two have been returned to us, Otis and Bali (on top of MBAOSPW)

there are actually two children in this picture pairing the socks 

while yours truly obsesses over 40 year old motorbikes. 
 

Time marches on

So its my birthday... well in two days, that being 2 April, yes I know Im behind, anyhoo this is a pic of my motorbike from way back when I was 18, 40 years ago. I keep looking to find it on ebay.

As a birthday treat we went to see dungeons and dragons, an amazing and funny film

followed by a healthy portion of Nandos and rice

where the RRMK2 ate too much hot sauce and took a while 

to cool down!
 

Mixed bag

Mrs Bear has stolen Quinn's bed 

Black Hawk project making lots of progress

The aldi dog food shortage seems to have eased, I blame Putin. 

A friends dog

A friends replica dog ... not creepy at all!
 

Tough day at the office

Work was tough today

a day of craft

cake 

more cake

and axolotls. 
 

Big jobs

Lets make hay while the sun shines, well almost, lets cover up the very expensive hay so that its protected from the weather and critters. 

So on a  gloriously sunny day

where even the little pony Trevor Shetland melted 

yours truly and the apprentice managed to get the roof on the bales store.

As well as the side and part of the front without injury,

The dogs left me a message...

The apprentice now has his own phone so is learning the importance of angles in photography. 

Hay covered over the equines were fed. 

Back indoors there is still stiff competition to be the best lap dog. 
 

On his holiday

This is Quinn, not a happy bunny as his owners have gone on holiday to the land down under so he is with us for a month. Not a good start in that he would not get out of the back of Moby once we got back to HQ.

He then thought the safest spot was the back of the sofa, Bali, another one who has returned permanently made sure we all knew he was MBAOSPW's dog. 

Quinn is a handsome dude, one of ours so bound to be good.

By evening time he was a bit more relaxed in a oh my god get me out of here type way. 
 

Happy Valley

 Always time to stop for rainbows

re-cycle

This is it now .... it will live again, long story but my friend who died, its his bike, he used to do a charity ride, I'm going to do the same ride on it on the anniversary of his death.

Its a dogs life

Bali is settling in 

Otis thinks he owns the place and can reach treats with no assistance needed from Tasha

Bali is not a water hound like Otis

Tasha and Mrs Bear

Sofa space is always at a premium, new arrivals have to serve an apprenticeship on the floor 

as space is hotly contested. 
 

Black Hawk Down progress report

 Erm.. between little and none! Some gluing. 

Mothers Day

Celebrated Mothers Day by taking MBAOSPW to two of our favourite beaches

Whiteford Sands on the Gower

where the boys and 

Otis and Mrs Bear

had a great time despite the crowds

compulsory selfie

poser

Mrs Bear

a walk in the woods 

where giant pine cones lay

and then to the cafe, Cwm Ivy for coffee and cake

before heading off to Oxwich bay

for a swim!

Despite the evidence he enjoyed it.

Selfie time 

again

Back home the naughty Pronto had escaped

somehow jumping up that 6 foot dirt bank with fence at the top. He was returned to his stable to reflect on this misdemeanor.
