I finally have the chance to post some pics of my lovely moo stickers. I ordered a little book of my favourite flickr pics last month. They are lovely, as is the packaging! Too nice to use in fact.

We seem to have managed to do less today than we did yesterday or the day before. Maybe this is the point of a holiday? After a late breakfast we went to Ryde and had a look round the shops before heading over to Bembridge Windmill. We climbed to the top and admired the view before driving over to see the planes take off from the local airport. It has been lovely and sunny here today, perhaps that is why I feel so lethargic!

We found a lovely hedgehog underneath our rotten old shed today. He was curled up into a ball around some old plastic bags. We scooped him up and deposited him in the park at Ally Pally this evening.

Today the boiler was condemned but the fence was finally fixed. What with the brand new back door and the new garden fence the house doesn’t know what has happened to it. I wonder if it’s missing those slovenly previous tenants?
