Mental note.


The builders arrive. Then fifteen minutes later, they go.


Bob spends much of his day guarding. This serious work involves barking at the wind and chasing shadows. He seems satisfied that he's scared away whatever needs scaring away.


Late in the evening there is a 'hedgehog' moment.  Sophie displays her full on 'diva' side.  There is much sound and fury. Angus, torch in one hand, tries to pick the prickly critter up with the other hand. He won't try that again. Mental note - never go out without little black bags and a pair of ski gloves.

The uncovered human hand is no match for millions of years of hedgehog evolution!

15 minutes? That's terrible - there was no time for a game of "Throw the Furry Fox" before the builders left again !
Was Sophie's "diva" side the result of her giving the prickly critter a nudge with her nose, then deciding she couldn't eat it?

We're wondering how much work was done in 15 minutes...or is that the time it takes to make up excuses why they can't be there.

Ah, so you spotted the difference between throw the furry fox and throw the spiky hedgehog?

Love that last picture, Bob looking noble and dignified. As if.

Bob does look very satisfied with himself, doesn't he?
Hedgehogs are such adorable little fellows. How's the Hand, Angus?

Having just experienced a floor-scratching, howling, window-bashing, "There's a CAT at the window" moment here... I can only shudder at the thought of a hedgehog.
