We\u2019re kicking our heels and hoping the weather will improve soon. This is absolutely why I prefer spending this time of year in my native Switzerland. The weather is so much better. Mum says I have to stop thinking like that and make the most of where we are. Ari spent some time on the computer trying to understand what trees we should plant to create something of a wind break. Unless they are very fast growing I guess they won\u2019t really benefit him. I thought maybe a high wall would be quicker and more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ari is getting concerned that Mum hasn\u2019t started the seed planting with him yet. He says they could be doing some of that in the greenhouse today. The main ones that need to be in are the parsnips and they are outside, so Mum is not so keen. She says another few days won\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we couldn\u2019t spend so much time outdoors we all helped with the decorating. If Mum and Dad are going to leave cupboard doors open with wet paint on them, then they really can\u2019t be surprised when we all get paint on our coats. Perhaps we didn\u2019t have to squeeze through the spaces they\u2019d tried to block us off from, but where would the fun have been in doing what they wanted?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think there is more painting planned for today, so I guess we have another opportunity to wreak havoc. I\u2019m ready to move onto a new colour as I don\u2019t think the purple goes that well with my coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ah well, as there\u2019s nothing much happening yet, I\u2019m going to see who\u2019s still in bed and hope they will let me get in with them. If I can\u2019t spend the day outdoors then I\u2019d like to spend it being cuddled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
