Typically after a couple of days spent larking about the pressing need to at least make some attempt at reducing the size of the to do list meant no more messing, it was another manic Monday. Finally the Rabbit Palace was completed and Peter Rabbit and Barnaby got acquainted the way only rabbits can, the fact that they are both male didn't appear to bother either of them. That job done, as in rabbit palace not rabbit relationships, meant that the patio (the helipad is no more as it has a massive conservatory on it now, so we have two small patios) could be cleared of hutches and rabbit accessories.
Another task that surfaced was to repair the triangle flower bed which had collapsed on one side thanks to wood rot and gravity. Slight problem arose with the repair as I had plenty of 9 inch planks, one four inch plank and zero six in planks necessary to effect a repair. After a considerable time spent bemoaning the fact that my beautiful and oh so patient wife failed to understand the complexities involved yours truly realised that more time was being wasted moaning rather than doing and so armed with fresh 9 inch planks a new flower bed was created. Its devoid of plant life as the newer deeper bed took more than the amount of compost around the place.
As ever I had K9 observers ensuring I kept on task
and Rippers made sure the new plants in an adjacent bed were kept warm by lying on them.
However, one job that took no persuading to get done was making a new layout for the apprentices Thomas the Tank Engine railway track.
