Two ladies

Two old ladies - rose and florence - except they're not, ladies that is. Oh well, easy mistake to make.
Thing is, finn prefers their wooden
cousins
, they don't 'nip' so much ;-)
Room with a view
flickr
Here's the view from the
hotel room
at the weekend - nearly as good as the
view from the flat
in Padstow.
Weekend Break
flickr
A weekend break up in London town to see the sights - in this case just in time to see the last flight on the
London Eye
-
flickr
which, possibly, was caused by our choice of transport. Not the most comfortable for two.
flickr
But breakie from a taxi shelter/cafe was great :-)
Phew
flickr Good news, the Eucalyptus tree in the garden is starting to recover from it's haircut .
Tonights sunset wasn't too bad either.
Throwing in the towel
flickr Another aspect of my comedy Boise hotel room was the (fake) rock walls, seen here sporting two hand towels, carefully tied up to make them almost impossible to use.
Elephant Shower
flickr
One of the joys of spending a night in Boise during a
Soccer Tournament
is that you get to sleep in places that have elephants as showers...
Jet Lagged

Heathrow to Seattle to Boise to Phoneix to Heathrow in 48 hrs. This is BA288 in Phoneix taken from the BA lounge - complete with window reflections.
Rose
flickr
The rose bush is going for broke. Must have been the massive hacking we gave it last autumn. I wonder if the
Eucalyptus
will be the same after its
haircut
?
BBQ
flickr So, what with the sunshine, we had to have a BBQ. Fortunately E&C had booked a spot at Wendover Woods . Perfect.
More for family & friends on flickr.
Ridgeway
flickr
The
Ridgeway
long distance path glimpsed from our lunch time picnic spot. Something I'd like to do one day... maybe a start would be walking to
Wallingford
.
Barrington Walk
flickr
Some fresh air at lunch time with a walk around Barrington - I have
Ivory Coast
in the sweep stake at work, but they weren't out training on the green...
flickr
so I walked down the path...
flickr
...to the footpath that goes over the hill to the pub
flickr
Where I bumped into Rod, who was also out for a stroll (on the footpath that is, not at the pub).
More Flowers
Flowers in the garden - fay tells me the one on the right is actually some kind of
allium
.
Buggy at five
flickr
We nearly had a disaster with a trip to
the Rex
- the buggy had a flat and refused the first corner.
The buggy is 5 years old and has nearly had it, what with montains, beaches, rivers and other mistreatment. Yesterday, I decided that 4 puncture repairs were as much as any one wheel should expect in the call of duty, and so replaced the inner tubes. After regreasing the hubs, adjusting the front wheel and break, and tightening the bolts that hold the frame together... it should be okay for a month or two longer.
Between two houses
flickr
This is the gap between two houses - our house and next door. In fact it's more the gap between kitchens than the gap between houses. For those that have been to visit, can you spot the mistake?
Hole in the road
flickr
Mid afternoon on Friday, just before the weekend, someone decided to dig a hole in the middle of the road outside. Nice one :-)
Rain drops

Rain drops on the newly painted back bedroom window sill - yes, it did dry in time (just)
