Its a Jungle out there

One of the problems with "having your head in the clouds" is that you often forget what you have intended to do....

Whilst sorting though my photos to be printed I came across this photo taken on the 11th Jan! To take you back in time and paint the picture around my intention for the photo and supposed post on the blog here goes....

We have been away from home since the 26th Dec, Jhb has had a lot of rain, the Londoners get stranded in Jhb on their way home with Leo's measles. So we come back to Jhb to enjoy the bonus time with them and some unexpected time around the house. We have also not mowed the lawn since before the wedding pending a quick fix to the new lawn mower which on its highest setting still cuts the grass too short. Brett and Chris got stuck in doctoring the lawn mower while Lara and I did some grocerey shopping. With Emma to chivvy him along Chris decides to get stuck in and sort the jungle out. He soon realised that what we thought may be a small garden is plenty big enough especially when you have to do the mowing. Leo was also most intrigued by the lawn mower and for the duration of his stay with us if we asked him where Chris was he would imitate the sound of the lawn mower. Also, while we were away, we think the pool overflowed and this has caused some irreparable damage to the grass that was looking so great before we left.

Solution : buy more instant lawn and relay it and be ever so careful to keep the pool at the right level!
