I had a 5-day weekend, woohoo.
Noteworthy facts:
1. We got a brand new gas tank for the BBQ. I gave it a good once-over and, despite the fact that it was supposed to piss it down with rain all weekend, I managed to use it 4 times.
2. Home-made BBQ baby back ribs. Nothing else need be said.
3. Beastie had his first haircut. Katy did a bang-up job!

4. We fenced off the backyard and filled in the pond.
I figure we dropped about 500 quid on the garden this weekend. Between the fence panels, posts, post holders, concrete and the baker’s dozen bags of compost it took to fill up the pond, it’s been a costly but productive weekend. Now to be fair, that amount also includes a large planter that will be used for a Japanese maple tree out front and also includes a small family of owls, several planters of cooking herbs, two large teacup planters and several plants for the rockery. It also includes an archway with a gate, that is currently in back-order and will be delivered at the end of the month.
Once that’s done, the garden will be beastie-friendly and we’ll be able to break out the foam-rubber play mats.
