Happy birthday Mama. Oh how I wish I could have been spending your special day with you. She is in good health and still enjoys playing with my sister, Valeria. Here is a lovely video of the two them playing with a very big stick. It looks as though they are having so much fun. Valeria hates me trying to get involved when they are playing like that, so it\u2019s probably best I wasn\u2019t there. We\u2019d only have argued, you know what sisters can be like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Happy Birthday, Susi!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0jwS--vGMrQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-compost-bin\">The compost bin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, this is a story you are going to find hard to believe. The compost bin came with wooden pieces and some screws. Apparently that was all that was required, just add a human with a drill and a screwdriver and it would be sorted. Well, maybe if it had been a different human. Although the picture shows Dad, please don\u2019t be fooled. My humans are equally responsible for this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spikes\">Spikes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The posts needed to be hammered into the ground. Mum didn\u2019t think she could possibly drive 3 inch wood posts into solid mud, so she bought some metal spikes for it to stand in. That would have been fine, but she bought the wrong size, so they had to go back. Then the bought the right ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad had the job of driving the spikes into the ground, which would have been fine, but when he\u2019d finished the distance between them was not the same as the pieces of wood. Then Mum had a go and used string to hold it all together while she worked out where the last spike and post needed to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_1938-scaled-e1688546941147.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1938-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28254\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-end-result\">The end result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The end result is a very wonky, largely three sided compost bin with holes at the bottom, but I have to tell you, my humans are very proud of it and laughed more than I have heard them laugh about anything for a while. Mum has filled the gap at the bottom with old bricks and has already started to move the pile of waste into the weird shaped compost bin. I\u2019m waiting to see if it blows down the next time it\u2019s windy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Wilma would like to wish her Mama Susi a very happy fourteenth birthday for yesterday.
