Well we met a whole bunch of our neighbours on Saturday and we are definitely the youngest around here by about 20 years at least. Admittedly people did think we were in our 30s instead of our 40s as we actually are but still, being the youngest does make you feel better about getting old. The snacks my wife made went down really well and we sent one guy home with the leftovers of one of them since he liked it so much. All in all it worked out well and everyone around here seems reasonable and lives here for the same reason as us, somewhere quiet to live in peace and get away from it all.
In other news the new cat Archer has now settled in nicely, he for the last few nights he will come up to us on the sofa and sit with and around us. Either curled up near my wife or stretched out on the sofa back. He also isn't eating all the food in sight now that he is used to having enough food available for him and he doesn't have to compete for it with the other cats. It is a relief that he seems to be happy here and the other cats have accepted him. Yay for a bigger family.
We did some more work on the garden/land around the house over the weekend. We have decided to try and brighten up the area we see out the front all day. So far I have planted 134 bulbs dotted around one area. We have another 100 or so in the garage to plant as well. A bit of strimming to clean up the dead grass and maybe a couple of trees to fill in some gaps and we will be much better. The area around the driveway then needs to be made a bit smarter, for some reason a large chunk of it is just bare dirt. If we can get stuff to grow there it will be so much better. The downside of owning so much land :| .
