I'll keep on keeping on

Early start for us, Ma was up at 4 and wasn't for going back to bed. I left her to it for a while but guilt (and worry that she might be shoving hairpins into the plug sockets) meant I didn't loll about for very long really. The upshot was that I managed to catch up with a lot of the stuff I hadn't been well enough to do over the weekend - washing, cleaning, hoovering, taking out the rubbish etc.

On the way back from the bin I spied this chap on the lawn. Now let me tell you, when you are prone on the lawn (getting far far more wet than you thought you would) and they are heading towards you there's no hanging about! Snails pace my arse elbow.
