On Friday morning before she was dressed, Fidget fell over and split her lip. I popped her pj top in to soak and put her dressing gown on.
isn't she a cutie!

I went off to work. Granny and Grandpa arrived to help out with the weekend activities. When I arrived home, Grandpa and Mark were nearly finished with putting the balustrade around the deck.

On Saturday morning, we got started, Fidget and Granny played together, M and I started to clear the lawn area and Grandpa started making a gate for the deck.

Pretty soon, Aunty M and Uncle A arrived and got straight into weed clearance.

We kept finding lots of frogs and relocating them at the far end of the garden, by the way, this is not the pile of stuff cleared away, this is an actual shot of our "lawn" as was...

Saturday was a warm day, so Fidget cooled down by playing with a tub of water...

(the work on the gate continued...)

(The clearing continued...)

The lawn area was full of bindweed and builders rubble so it was slow going and hard work. It was a lovely warm evening, so after showers we sat out to enjoy a takaway on the deck.

Sunday morning was misty and damp

Fidget went out in her wellies, to check out the state of the weather....

It was pretty wet, and given how tired we all were, it was a slow start to the day.

But we did get out and finish off the weed clearance, it already looks so much better, ready for laying the turf next weekend.

Grandpa had done stirling work on the gate, and by the afternoon it was finished. Fidget thought it was great for riding on, less good for keeping her out of the garden.

Final job was a bit of rotavating, before clearing up and putting our feet up!
