Today is OH’s birthday and I gave him his present in a box.  No, it wasn’t Monster, it was a very nice bread board.

But the minute the box was empty and put on the floor, Monster was straight in making himself comfortable.

And that’s where he wanted to spend his morning (Monster, not OH).

I left Monster snoozing and popped down to the byre at the bottom of the garden to get something celebratory out of the freezer for supper when I got the feeling I was being watched.

So I nipped back up to the house and got three carrots to give to the “fairies” at the bottom of the garden.

Three fairies to be precise.

At least they don’t know how to open the gate…… yet.  Looking at it from the photo, I think I might take some rope to tie the gate up a bit better. Belt and braces.

Back in the house, Monster had gone to sleep.  The box is a the best bit about someone’s birthday.
