Like watching paint dry

We've got a slatted fence round our garden and for the last couple of weeks we've been digging out the ivy and vegetation which was growing over it. We've done a pretty good job - when we moved in the vegetation actually concealed an oil drum and old broken swing set (which gives you an idea of how much greenery there was).

At the weekend, (in between a 4th birthday party for one of Audrey's friends and swimming lessons) we started staining the fence which, considering how much it's been ignored, is not in too bad a condition. The kids of course wanted to 'help'...although a lot of the 'help' ended up with them painting each other. There's still a bit more for us to do (probably not as big a job as the Sydney Harbour Bridge)
