Today, Bank Holiday Monday, we had breakfast outdoors and 'my girls', familiar as they have become with their freedom, joined us.....

This did not please the cat who left and................

................sought to make herself interesting (not knowing, of course that the girls could do the same with even greater facility).

Now, as I said, today was a bank holiday and I saw stretching ahead of me a day of personal choice and, perhaps, even relaxation.

But Sue had other ideas.

Our having, yesterday, done a full clean (she inside and me outside) of the (dreadful?) gable-end window.....

..........she wondered, over the same breakfast, whether I would clean the outsides of the two dormer windows on the back of the roof.

So I found myself following the cat's example..................

......................and got an unusual perspective on our home!
