Elfy's Doll a Week 2019

[Alliecat]

He’s still trying to get the circular breathing thing down. He may ask to borrow Jo and Tansy’s harmonica.

Haha, I remember that from high school music class (flute). The teacher described it (sort of) but we never got the hang of it.
He looks quite earnest in his effort there... is dolly didgeridoo music pitched way higher than people-music? You know, cos they're so tiny...?

The harmonica might be more his size, but he still looks adorable trying to manage that thing.

I never actually considered that, but it’s a smaller didge, so it probably is a slightly higher pitched sound.

Nasty weather here today, so had to take the shot inside.



Despite the weather our mandarin tree has fruited for about the second time in its life, so Daisy braved the rain to pick the mandarins. Finn helped, although I think he really just wants to eat a mandarin.

Oh, how lovely to have such trees in your yard! And the jungle-y background looks great too. They look happy with their treat.

The ‘jungle’ is actually our backyard. Most of it is Audrey, our giant rosemary bush, she’s in flower at present.

Enjoying the weather in teir own way, aren't they? I love sitting on window and watching nasty weather with a cup of something hot.

We did opt to ejoy the weather from inside the house today - usually we walk to the gym for excersise, but we would have looked like drowned rats if we'd tried that.

We are really thrilled that the mandarin actually produced fruit this year - we've had it for over 10 years, and this is only the second time we've gotten anything.

They're very cute sitting on the window-sill like that.

Aw! Daisy looks ready to dig in. Finn looks a little more patient. (And at a quick glance Finn looked like he had a doll-sized pumpkin )

[davidd]

You named your Rosemary bush... Audrey?

Be careful out there, that's all I have to say!  

[Elfy]

We named her Audrey because she is so big and grows quite aggressively.

[werepuppy]

Awww, they look so adorable.

Finn's made a new friend, we brought her home from the Sheep and Wool Show yesterday.

oh it is!  so so very soft!  I just want to pet it a lot 
I wasn't originally going to get one, but i kept thinking about it while we wandered around so I went back and got it once I'd bought all the wool I'd planned to (I had a budget so had to wait to see if I had enough left...   )
