		<description><![CDATA[Yay!  lemur lady - you need to make a friend for flat stanley!! 

I hear fionaT has a mouse corpse she&#039;s keeping in a tupperware, left over (added bonus?) from her recent (and probably on-going?) bathroom overhaul part 7346291.  If you ask nicely, she might let you practice your skinning/stuffing technique on it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So - two things:

1) why have I stopped getting an email when you post a new blog - I always used to and it&#039;s stopped......technology.....ggrrr.....

2) uummmmm.....can&#039;t remember the other one (as it&#039;s all of 30 seconds since I typed the thing above ^^ - shame on me)

BUT - we may just have to order more heating oil, owing to living in the back and beyond of nowhere and not having the modern *gas* thing.

We did, like you, have just the one barbecue (burn food and other outside...) this year.  But blue sky was nice to see....briefly.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hum... Mr LizzieMade has a new bbQ not a &quot;bbw&quot;... grrr...

And while I&#039;m wittering on, do you think you could ask your &quot;I&#039;m not a zombie really&quot; comments checker if it could make the hard sums less hard? It&#039;s a bit much at this time of the evening... I mean, &quot;2+3=...&quot; ... well, really, I ask you...
And right now, it&#039;s asking for me to do a Take-Away sum!! Oh noes.. must go and find The Boy for help... I mean, I&#039;m only an innocent little bookbinder. My sums are only done so I can work out how big to cut my bits of paper &amp; bookboard...  
Now then (sticks point of tongue out between teeth...) uummm... 6-4=???  errr.... 
Oh heck! Boy, come here and help Mum with this hard sum!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, well you see, the &quot;bit at the bottom&quot; (of the garden, of course!), is nicely disguised in the photos, by the Bits that are Visible - with nicely trimmed grass and trees and stuff... Looks good.  

And no, I did not know that you can explode mackerel... I must give it a go some time (perhaps when Mr LizzieMade is playing with his new bbw, which he bought last year but it rained non-stop after that and he never got the chance to use it...)  Exploding mackerel sounds like cool fun. 

BTW I think your Mutha sounds just like you - and she is talented at sewing too - I can see where you and FionaT get your skills from - all of them perhaps (?) 

And on that note...]]></description>

Your bloomers - somehow it appears as if you are a Karate black belt - it&#039;s the way 
You wear it, i guess? But you are quite right it truly was a lovely day especially as
Summer occurred for the occasion - bonus present!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah the grass does grow back - in the end. Don&#039;t let The Mister have any more bbq&#039;s in that bit of the garden, til the grass has grown. 
I was looking at the garden photos and thinking how good your garden is looking now - hard work paying off? 

Aaaanyways... Hippy Birdie to you, for last weekend. The prezzie list is most impressive - your family re so talented. So are you, by the by... Just saying&#039;! 

That zombie rabbit is my very favourite, but the LBH apron comes a v close second.
