Dinosaur

[lathany]

Today I found a construction kit on top of the recycling. It was a little wooden kit that said it would be a dinosaur in 30 minutes. It seemed a shame to throw it away and so I asked whose it was. Bea recognised it as the sort of kit she and Ryan had received as stocking presents some years ago, but was sure it wasn't hers. Ryan didn't think it was his.

Consequently it became mine.

It took nearer 45 minutes than 30 and I found that the included sandpaper was needed. I'm not quite sure of the final result - but I do have a sense of pride that I completed it.



Next time I think I'll get myself one automatically.

I've also been working in the garden for an hour before lunch. This was partly to plant the (no longer flowering) bulbs I got for Xmas as per their instructions. Also, I started this year's fight against the blackberry.

House threatened to be overtaken by blackbarries? I can picture worse fates.

It's a very annoying plant because it sets down extra roots everywhere.

I like the dinosaur, glad you rescued it!

The odd part was how no-one seemed to have thrown it away or recognised it fully.

Nice job!

We have raspberries that need to be Dealt With. I <3 raspberries. It's one of my favorite flavors and scents. But it is a horribly persistent plant that doesn't care where you don't want it to grow.

I never realised that raspberries could be as bad as blackberries. Blackberries are a very English thing - overgrown in the hedges and so on. We don't have the same issue with raspberries. But I have no idea why not.
