No particular reason I haven't blogged so no excuses either. We are still living with the giant tree in the garden as waiting on written quotes for removing this, so we can send these to insurance company. It is a slow process but Seb is very happy about the tree still being there and has now become extremely adept at climbing the tree and running around on the hut roof. It is getting a bit embarrassing to be honest because I suspect neighbours along the entire street can see him up there on a daily basis! The birds are also loving the tree and we had some super cute baby goldfinches a few days ago. I am worried that birds are building nests in it though - there is a wee dunnock collecting all Seb's fluff from outside the back door (where we shook the rug!) today, so a nest is in production somewhere - hopefully in the hedge. We have also had a fox coming right up to the front of the garden because it thinks it is hidden in the tree - I think Seb is picking up the scent because he is barking even more (!) than usual outside!
Goldfinch - they were shaking their wee behinds!
I have had a nice couple of weekends - last week we had a wee impromptu BBQ at Kirsty's on the one day we had nice weather, and I was at my friend Stephanie's hen night on the Saturday. I have known Stephanie since we were 5 - so that's 27 years. That makes me feel rather old :-)
This weekend was much quieter and I spent quite a bit of time making cards and invites (for Anne's birthday) and experimenting with jam jars and glass paints. My friend Lu had been making tea light holders from jam jars to use outside so I thought I would try painting one with glass paints. It was a partial success but the paints are really old so think they were bit sticky and lumpy. I am also rubbish at putting the squeezy lead stuff on because my hands shake too much. It is kind of cute though..
Finally I will leave you with some pics of Seb today :-)

Hi, Love the pics of Seb!!! Looks like he is saying "goany give us a wee shot of yer hat" He really suits it too! What a dog! The jam jars are really nice. Will look lovely lit up! Hope you get the tree sorted soon before it becomes a conservation area! Enjoy the rest of the week lol Anne xxx
All your pictures make me smile! Is that a cow Sebs is staring down?
Jess, it is indeed a cow! It didn't come with that hat though ;-)
Hunny I adore your tea light holder...its so pretty with the bow! So funny about Seb and the tree! You seriously could write a mini series of storybooks abt him-can't wait to meet him :-) I bet the cards are beautiful. Its nice to look back on some good times out and about. Yesterday I struggled but made it up to London to meet a friend for a mani and pedicure. It was so nice to feel 'normal' and with lots of breaks it wasn't half the struggle it could have been. Have a great week xxx
That cow is the same colour as your chair! Mum x
