Work and Play
We’d a very productive day today - at least, what we did is actually visible, which makes a nice change. We spent most of the day sorting out the garage. I’m not sure this was really a priority, but at least now the boys can get their bikes out without knocking over half the boxes, and I know what’s still in there to be brought into the house and sorted. The weather was beautiful, hot and sunny, and the boys were out playing with friends all day again. They even helped the boy across the street wash his mum’s car - now how do I get them to do mine, which definitely has a greater need? 
The cats spent the day exploring too, though there was an hour or so this evening when Ginny had come in but Molly was nowhere to be seen - Barney went and called her every ten minutes or so, and Scratchy - get this, Scratchy, the cat-hater! - even offered to drive around the neighbourhood and look for her! (I resisted asking just what he was going to do if he saw her, given that he can’t bear to touch them :lol:) I asked several times if we were sure she wasn’t already in the house somewhere and was assured that she definitely wasn’t. And then…a meowing sound from what has become known as “the purple room” (the spare room, currently a sorting-and-organising station for toys, clothes, whatever)…and guess who emerged when Barney opened the door….
Everyone’s now in bed - a lot earlier than the last few nights, but they really were getting too cranky for me to tolerate much longer - and at least two of them are asleep already. They’ve had a terrific weekend playing with friends, we’ve got most of the house into some sort of live-in-able fashion, and we’ve got a car full of broken-down cardboard boxes and bubble-wrap to be disposed of tomorrow. Not bad going really
