All by myself

 Once the normal routine was done, and spinning, dog training, toddler entertaining, baby bouncing, shopping and other distractions were all taken care of I finally got 2.5 hours spare to start the new project.

 Clearing the site for the Swiss Chalet, or kennel block. Naturally as befits any project at HQ it was done without any luxury items like a mini digger, but with an ancient spade found in the nettles, an audience of various species and a keen amateur wanting to help.

 Once the novelty of shifting tons of topsoil waned

 the apprentice strategically placed himself to pose the maximum trip hazard.

 Then to really speed things up members of the clan decided that yours truly needed their attention

 more than I needed space to swing a spade.

 But slowly progress was made

 despite Rocky coming over all environmental protester and trying to bring the spadework to a halt.

End of play saw one third of the site cleared which Tasha and Ritchie thought was the best spot for some wrestling. Same again tomorrow!
