The two tykes have returned from their summer holidays with their grandparents in Ste.Etienne. We know they're back because they spend the afternoon doing wheelies on the freshly laid gravel outside the church porch. They have a boom box that one of them balances, precariously, on his handle bars. 'The Font' notes that school starts again on September 2nd so they only have a fortnight in which to drive the village insane.
Bob is having a bad hair day. It is what Angus terms the electrocuted Ringo look. It gets like this when Bob's been sleeping on his back . He is soon put to rights.
The Old Farmer returns to collect his post. All mention of the trip to Belarus has gone. We assume that the pleasure of having someone cook three meals a day and laugh at all his jokes is keeping his mind closer to home.
The eight kittens spent the night in the garden. They sit safely in the branches of the Holm Oak and look down on two shaggy dogs hurtling round the garden following C-A-T scents. The shaggy dogs have no idea where the kittens are.

I rather admire the bike handing skills of anyone capable of performing wheelies on gravel while balancing a boom box on the handlebars!
Bob have you been rolling around all night?
The mind motor coordination of a ten year old is not to be underestimated.
No, just lying snoring on his back with his feet in the air. His glass coffee table pose.
Always enjoy your daily blog posts. I know PONs have been bred to heard sheep but lately, after reading tales of the two and four legged characters living in your part of the world, I wonder if the old phrase "hearding cats" might one day become a future blog post heading.
Oops... excuse my phone text typo above. No "a" herding.
In just four short years the tykes will be teens, able to get motorized bikes. So count your blessings. I find it refreshing that they are enjoying an old-fashioned outdoorsy childhood instead of spending it inside, on screens, not allowed to wander unsupervised.
You look fabulous, Bob! :)
I have passed this message on to him. He is thankful.
It is quite possible that the tykes will progress to motorized bikes ( without silencers ) before their teenage years.
Herding might be too technical a word. Manic and uncoordinated chasing may be closer to reality.
