I love to translate simple words and use them when I talk to my husband. He just give the "look".<br /><br />It's getting colder here but we need some rain. Grace has decided that my Monkey Grass is delightful to play in, and Marley joined so it is flatter than a pancake.<br /><br />I think having a rabbit inside is pretty interesting.

That was when we lived in Surrey. I disliked the way we were herded around as if we were in a museum.

It's just trinkets and things and all sorts of storage containers, mostly things that I do not need but I like to go and look around. I love their kitchen items and, of course, I always buy something.<br /><br />Glad that Ash has recovered and, apparently, forgiven you for depriving him of little rabbits heirs in the future. <br /><br />Weather's nice here and I hope it stays that way for my 66th birthday Sunday. I'm going to the Hyatt in the morning to hear my friend, a 72-year-old jazz singer, then my daughter-in-law is taking me to dinner. She's down this way to run a half marathon. My oldest son gave me a plane ticket so I can attend my 45 year nursing school reunion in New Orleans in a couple of weeks.

They're a nifty critter but I understand how they can creep some folks out. Rabbits, on the other hand are simply adorable. I would have no problem sharing my indoor space with Ash. I've shared cottage space with one adorable young raccoon recently. She thinks she's a cat. We haven't told her otherwise.. yet.<br /><br />I love Ikea too but haven't been there in years. I get that strong urge to buy when I'm there too.. which is probably why I've not been there in years. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-17148462683572970112010-10-01T17:20:11.444+01:002010-10-01T17:20:11.444+01:00Maggie, going shopping to Ikea is a great idea, ra...Maggie, going shopping to Ikea is a great idea, rain or shine.
