Slightly more progress made on the ivy - its all just pulling it off as I've never used anything much in the way of weedkiller, apart from a garlic & vinegar one I make, which isn't bad if its used several times. Hopefully I may even get to weeding later - oh joy.
Madame Le Dog has outdone herself. Over the last few days I've decided to teach her to shut the door after she comes in; she already knows how to open the back door from both inside & outside so I thought it might be useful if she can shut it once she comes in, or later on we'll have all the flies in creation coming in.
It would probably work better if I could remember to do it every day, but did remember this morning when she'd just come in & she did very well & managed to shut it twice. So thought I'd leave it at that for now & headed back to what I'd been doing.
Not so fast, human! As I walked away I heard smartarse the dog open the door again - & then shut the damn thing!
Had to give her another little treat, but locked the door so she can't do it again.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
