I think he was a bit chuffed, until we got part way through the questions and he realised that he had to put his thinking cap on and it wasn't going to be as easy as he thought!

The Little Gnome struggles with his literacy skills, so I wrote his answers out for him and I gave him no warning about my little questionnaire, so sitting in front of all of his friends and having to answer twenty questions off the top of his head, was a big stretch for him.
I've warned my other boys that they are next, so they'd best get their thinking caps on!
Today, Adoring Husband was working in the yard and cleaning up behind the shed.
He found some eggs and all but one of them was broken ...
I posted it onto the flickr group and one of the girls thought it was a gecko egg. It's very cute :D
I did go for a ride this morning and it really was a glorious day. The sun was shining, the sky was a vivid blue, there was a nice cool breeze and there were lots of bird sounds everywhere.
The tide was out, so I walked out along the sand flats and spent about 40 minutes exploring the rock pools, following the oyster catchers and chasing soldier crabs.
I took quite a few photos, but none of them were really worth sharing. The light just was too bright!
Still, it was a most pleasurable morning and sunshiny days have been rare so far this year, so I soaked it up.
Bed time for me.
Nite all.
