Work mate

Stepping from my office into the wine room (they are conveniently adjacent!) for a bottle of water, I spotted a tiny toad in the entrance.  By the time TallGirl (creature-remover) had arrived, the toad had vanished but, lifting up a bit of ineffectual lino, TallGirl found this salamander (it was less blurry in real life).  We relocated it to a bit of pipe half-buried behind the pond, filled with dry leaves and protected with lumps of wood.  Seems like a better place to overwinter than the unfinished corner* of my office.

*Who am I kidding: none of my office is finished.

In other news, the rabbits are happy to be home.  And so are we.
