Haaard, work work

I have been carrying heavy stones from the pile of stones where we got them, on to the trailer, off the trailer onto the little trolly, and then off the trolly into a new pile next to the pond, and then into the pond. Intense, but good work-out! I have also shoveled gravel into the trolly, and then into the pond. Now all the water lilies are in their new location in the new pond, and their roots are hidden first with a circle of large stones, then covered in gravel. All to avoid having the fish dig them up. Now the pond is extended about 130%, and filled with water, and strategically placed big stones, and pete for the flowers to grow on! Just the flowers and the fish left!






After the hard work, we enjoyed the sun with a nice cup of tea. And actually (sofie!) I had two cookies my grandma had made. But to outweigh it, I used my new new pair of Nike+ shoes (found a pair that felt real good, but only cost 2/3 of the price of the other pair. This meant I could also afford some good shoes to use when playing badminton. Sofie have these kinds of shoes, and she swore they were perfect for working-out. She has them in blue, I wanted them in red, but they didn't have them in my size, so I took the black ones instead. To avoid being too much of a copy-cat. Cute Cat still liked both pairs of shoes, and the new shoe-box.


The more stupid one of the two cats (i.e. Obidobi) thought he could make a jump across the pond. He probably could have made it too, but half-way across his leash did not extend further, and a *plupp!* could be heard.
I also had time and energy to build a new shelf for our future balcony to hold some of the million flowers my mum have prepared for us. Only 79 SEK at IKEA, very cheap (+ it was made into a gift from granny to Joding!), and when mounting the shelves the upside down, they make perfect collectors of excess water. My mum took the shelf and installed in her green house, and talked about buying another one to hold more of her flower projects. I assume she'll buy us a new one too.
