Spring has sprung, about 3 weeks ago.

Or possibly longer. I can't remember when I took these photos now, but the iris have pretty much finished for this year it seems, and the daisies all need dead heading, but the violas are still looking good. Hopefully they will self seed like crazy and go all over the garden next year. Might help if I did some weeding, fertilising and stuff. It is entirely possible that the picture of the iris is in fact upside down. No, wait, looks like you can see the stem at the bottom. Phew. In other house news we are looking at Ikea this weekend for a bathroom cabinet. Aren't you glad I told you that. I know I am. The test will be getting out of Ikea with, if there are any, a bathroom cabinet, two children (preferrably my own) a husband (ditto) and my temper without a whole heap of other stuff that we don't really need impulse buying. Wish me luck.

Tara Dennis I ain't

So here is the painted cat litter hider. As you can see Tara Dennis is quite safe from me taking over her job anytime soon. Especially since the first thing I managed to do was drop the paw stamp and make a mark on the background paint, which I then rubbed to cause a lovely smudge. Just to the left of the cat hole. But close up it doesn't look too bad. Well that's what I'm telling myself anyway.
