Great report & photos Eggy [except the rat one ] - thank you.
I wonder which is the guilty one, Megg or Homer? How are they getting on these days, are they friends yet?

Sara -Well, a funny fing 'appened last night. But I'll start from the beginning.
Yesterday morning our Megg was in the utility room, sniffing around the washing machine.
Being curious, I got a torch and shone it down the sides but couldn't see anything there.
Sometimes she chases bits of paper around and purposly hits it under things.
( More exciting that way )
So, no more thought of it until 10ish last night when Wegg opened the door to the utility room and there staring at her was a little mouse type/shrew type rodent. Aaargh!
Eggy to the rescue with a small box but when I knelt down it ran straiGht up my trouser leg. - Good job I have a fondness for these little animals!
So, and now use your imagination. See me with left hand, sealing trouser bottom, to prevent the escape route for this lovely little character. Try also to imagine how you walk to the back door with one hand round ankle and the other to keep yourself steady.
(Come back Quasimodo - All is forgiven) - Esmeralda! and all that!
Bottom line is, When outside, shake leg and out pops mini hairy rodent who takes a long look at me, on his back legs before scuttling off to freedom.
MEGG MUST BE FAVOURITE AS THE GUILTY PARTY NOW!!

Sharon - Cats are both good and just about tolerate each other. Now spring is upon us they seems to be on shiftwork. Out all night and sleep all day.

Janis - Megg ( Top Cat ) is a tiny little thing. - We call her a tart cause shes always making herself look pretty ( We think that's to tease Homer ! )
=========================================================
Connie - Drinks must be a must in June.

So , who says I keep going off thread, in posts.??
ARILLAS TODAY _ (so far)
A lovely morning with 16deg outside at mid-day. Good to see the soil starting to dry and Wegg has planted some vine "sticks" and more teddies ( Potatoes )
A lot going on around with digging,strimming,a few bonfires. Busy bees all round.
(Yep - and we've seen a few bees and heard that bird that goes - "Whoop")
I reckon that, in a couple of days time, there will be activity in Arillas with all our pals preparing for, what we hope, is a good Summer for them and us.
Sod the euro and sod the price increases. Holidays, as kiving here, are important to all and if you have to drink one beer less or hire a car for 5 days instead of 7 then go for it.
We have tightened our belts here in the same way. An ouzo less, shop around for bargains, don't drive for the sake of it,turn rads down, etc etc - And we're still here.
This is what I want to see this Summer!

There yer go - off thread again!
Try and make up for it later.
