The Cat Hunt

We have cats living across the street. Whenever we start back up the road, from any direction, Isla starts saying "Psssh wssh wwssshh"to the cats. Then we have to stop and look for them. This involves her lying in the street and looking under the cars. We only ever find them in the evening but we usually check anyway a couple of times a day, just in case. This in one of the reasons I spend a lot of my time doing laundry.

It's the yellow ones you have to watch out for

PS

That is hand stitched as Charlie will not let me buy a new sewing machine - MEANIE!

Creating

Bandana bibs to catch the rivers of dribble flowing from Isla's mouth. Now if only she would keep it on her and not keep putting it on her doll Mell.

New Hair

Thanks Mel for calling it my "Mumsy-Do".

SHE ROCKS!

Autumn is looming

I have switched on the toilet seat and the leaves are a-turning. The sun is shining out there today but it is almost time to cozy up at home. The locals are already dressed like it is below freezing out there.

Goodbye Grandma

Lunches, walks, art museum shops, ordering up multiple fried oysters and spicy tofu lumps on the Izakaya computer, a trip to Nagoya, a pottery walk, photo shoots, sliding and swinging, long lunches and short dinners, rain and lovely sunny days, crysanthemum and bonsai viewing, ten minute castle tours, aquarium and dolphin shows, the lovely hotel breakfast buffet, shinkansen rides and Fuji views.

We have had a FANTASTIC time with Grandma (even if there are no pictures to prove she was here as she was the photographer) we will be sad to say goodbye tomorrow.

Goodbye for now!
