this was actually taken yesterday.
maximum in our woods, who had fallen over and who was claiming he couldn't get up.
"help, i need your help: i can't get up", he cried, whined and whinged over and over again.
"if you needed help, i'd help you maximum...but unless you've forgotten how to stand up, you don't need my help...and if you don't stand up and come with us, you'll be waiting there a LONG time".
he was there for half an hour, crying and screaming hysterically, "help, i'm scared, i can't get up" until he thought i had actually gone (instead of waiting out of his sight, where i was) when he got up, stopped crying and ran to find us.
it's a battle of wills.
i am the winner...forever.
apart from this, AND a whinging marathon from both sons in tescos, during a food shop this morning, it has been a happy weekend, just chilling.
yesterday we flew elastic propelled airplanes in the paddock and played football on the front lawns.
today we went to sarre windmill, the monkton nature reserve and minnis bay.
z painted his 'paint yer own wellies' wellingtons...picture to follow...kind of abstract.
one of our ducks has started laying again.
egg production is massively up: 6 of 9 hens lay and now 1 of 2 ducks.
the hens good output is due to their new corn heavy diet and mrs.perou's generous donations of scraps and the duck is benefitting from new duck feed.
maximum has started getting pocket money: he get's 2p an egg he finds and brings in.
he has no concept of money really.
he's as happy with the 14p he got today as he was with the £5 che won him on a fruit machine in morellis last weekend.
'wonder rod' came to measure up a new ceiling for the draughty office.
i will be watching 'america's next most smartest model' on mtv tonight and i'll be eating a fat steak washed down with cider while i'm doing it.
i, unlike my children, appreciate how lucky i am.
tomorrow it's back to the grind...
