Day 388: Clever girls :o)

Mr Nora broke his watch sometime over the weekend - he realised yesterday that the dial was missing. It was a super cool surf dude's watch which not only told the time but the TIDES as well and was waterproof to a zillion metres. So no wonder he was gutted - and it could have been anywhere :o( We'd been shopping AND on a ramble down a country path AND looked around some new houses so it really could have been anywhere in a five mile radius from home :o(

So why are the girls clever? Well they'd been looking after the missing bits. I found one bit in THEIR RUN in the poo-yAubiose (so he might want to clean that bit!). I thought to myself, the other bit can't be that far... and it was a couple of feet outside the run, underneath a washing up bowl that we chuck the windfall apples into.

So that's why they're clever, they found the bits missing from his watch! YAY!!!

But also cos they've figured out an escape route from the shrubbery borders - I found out how today. One jumps up onto their director's chair (the perch I made ages ago) then hops up over the mesh onto saddle of the pushbikes that sit just there - then onto the plant tubs and then down to the decking. And very pleased she looked too when I caught her in the act! So cue even MORE mesh to block up this new escape hatch!
