They\u2019ve gone, all gone. We\u2019ve eaten the whole pile of apples. We had help from the wildlife around here, but I think we ate most of them. It\u2019s awful. I feel hungry at the end of each meal. Ari and I even got into trouble yesterday for trying to upend our food containers in the hope that the lids weren\u2019t on properly. I saw Ari but he was just standing by. It sounds better if I don\u2019t admit that was all my doing. When Mum went into the engine shed, I sidled in behind her. Sadly, she noticed me long before I was able to steal an apple off one of Dad\u2019s storage shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead we have sticks\u2026 and branches. Thanks to the weather there are plenty of pieces of old wood falling out of the trees. It was so funny. Mum went round with the wheelbarrow and gathered a whole load of them up and put them ready for Dad to shred when he is home. We went round and pulled replacements out of the hedges to leave on the grass where we wanted them. By the time we\u2019d finished you would never have known Mum had done any clearing up at all. That was how we filled the time while she was fencing. It was a lot more productive than watching her failed efforts. She did keep going, which frankly showed just how like us she really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum has said she might try to finish the stretch of fencing she was doing this morning. I\u2019m just hoping it stays dry as I\u2019d like a morning outside. Let\u2019s see if she swears as much today as she did yesterday. Honestly, there were words I had to look up the meaning for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
