Just a bit of rambling on and the house next door.

Here is my little miss destructo enjoying her special patch of dirt, the beer fairy has mowed the lawn out the front, well it's not our lawn it belongs to the council, the nature strip, it belongs to them and they don't mow it but if you plant anything in it they don't like,  out it comes and they expect you to mow it but I'm getting side tracked, he has just dumped all the cut grass in Drumsticks patch and she is having a lovely time but their is little light to take a picture now and my camera that takes good low light shots has gone on strike.

This week I put in half a picket fence, sometime I need a area that I can keep Drumstick confined, I have found she likes to drink paint and she can be a bit of a pest if you are painting something as I want to paint my garden chairs red, so now I have a area to confine her, there was a hole in the old fence and she would just climb through.  

The two green ones need a new coat, I'm keen on red at the moment.

Not much has happened to the fish pond at the moment maybe next week.

But the house next door is going ahead in leaps and bounds this week all the brickwork is finished and they have started on the roof maybe finished by Christmas.

I'm all over the place this week .

Not following a theme at all.

This is the front area of the house it goes right across the block but I don't mind, I just didn't want a two story place next door but it sure is a big house.

Most of the internal timber work is done now boy am I sick of the sound of a nail gun and the sound of a electric saw.

This is Pidge's cage or whats left of it, he only went in it to eat so there was no point in having it both him and Drumstick have found places they want to sleep in, in the backyard no cages for them.

I just found a tomato vine in with the beetroot and silverbeet.

And these little fellows have struck I got three out of six so thats pretty good.

This is my back yard taken from my backdoor, now I have a 4bedroom house and my rooms are on the big side and there is the jungle up behind the fence that I showed you last week.

But these two pictures show you how much ground is left in this building next door.

They have about as much room as I have in the jungle, it is a Macmansion of sorts.

Do you think she has put on weight she looks much healthier than when she first arrived. She likes to stand on one leg a lot or sits on your foot she is having her chat to the beer fairy.

And this is where the eggs are, i just leave one here all the time now so she doesn't change her spot.

Working in the garden

I spent most of today working in the garden wonderful warm day until about 2.00pm then it became very hot so I had to stop for a ice block or two and a few cool drinks, but did get a fair bit done, I pulled apart the huge cage the beer fair built for Pidge he hasn't used it in about 3 or 4 years he only went there to feed  so we decided that a shelf was a better idea one where Drumstick couldn't reach and then his food would be safe from her anyway the wild birds still eat it.
This was Angus paddle pool when he lived here but he didn't like water very much so he never used it but we had it over the top of the cage to keep the food dry when it rained, not sure what to do with it might get some goldfish, lots of mesh wire that I took off the cage that I can put over the top, it looks like these two had read my mind and are waiting for the fish.

Long wait fellows no where near ready yet.

This is Pidge new shelf, the beer fairy put it up for him.

My Maple tree is in full leaf it's only been in the ground just over a year

It was about 6''high when I took it out of the pot it was in and planted it in the ground so it's going well.

Other thing not doing so well, it's been very dry the last couple of months.

Well time to go inside it's getting dark and the beer fairy is cooking tonight and he says it's almost ready.

 The next day, this is Drumstick's bath they like dust baths so this area is for her maybe she will be kinder to the garden now.

 I bought two little duckies last time I went shopping.

 This is Drumstick's water bowl

 And this is Pidge's both of them don't drink when I put in fresh water they like it a couple of hours old.

 Pidge now has a bird to tell him where to go.

 And I need three bricks high for the fish pond.

 This was going to be my Japanese garden but nothing has really happened yet and Drumstick enjoyed eating the plants I had planted.

 But I will get on to it when the weather cools off maybe after Christmas.

 But  the Boggie  always looks good no matter how hot or dry it gets.

 My jungle

 And here is miss distructoo.
