Disgusting creatures

A friend of the family chainsawed up the stump of the tree that was remaining. That just left some rather large sections to be split up. One of the sections was comprised of two trunks which had become fused together as the tree grew. When I split this it was strangely full of massive leeches that were hibernating there. At the time I thought I had managed to dodge all of the vile creatures but one of them must have been attached to my shoe and when I put it on again a few days later and then spent a day gardening I did not notice it. However later that night I was reading a book to Claire and lying on top of her bed and when I got off there was a monstrous leech that was bloated with my blood.


Technique leaves a little to be desired.


It was at least as long as your forearm if my memory of the horrid thing remains intact.

Another financial burden has appeared.

This one was a little heavier at least but still over 1.5 kg lighter than his cousin whom is nearly a month younger.

Animals in the garden

The garden is slowly getting better and the weeds are being eradicated although it will be along time until they are all gone. There is plenty of wildlife still but I need to get some more bushy shrubs into provide some more habitat now that most of the weeds that were the previous groundcover has been eradicated.
