Well first the good news. The 2-foots have finally finished smearing all of that smelly white stuff on the walls, so now we can all get back to some serious time in the garden. I now have a new hobby, this is how it works:-

1. select a 2-foot.
2. stare at the 2-foot until it gets the message that it's time to make a fuss of me
3. make the 2-foot realise that the ONLY way I feel comfortable is for them to make their lounger flat like a bed
4. Sit on the 2-foot's chest, and be stroked and petted.

I find that this is a great way to unwind after running round the garden, and eating all of the plants.
