What do you have by your back door?

one pair of Crocs

one squashed rubber pig (the dog's)

one frisby

one pair of shoes

one orange and one blue plastic rackets of sort (terribly noisy things, like playing tennis with drums.  Neighbours love us... not)

one plastic cricket bat

three wooden cricket bats (different sizes)

a small bottle of bat oil (cricket bat...not the bird kind)

one wooden sword and one rubber sword (life is not fair, right? better learn it when young!)

one cricket bat mallet (who knew you had to 'knock' a cricket bat for 2 &*&%$ weeks before using it?)

two hockey sticks

one wooden paddle thingy (one was left in Greece last summer)

one pair of pink rubber clogs (mine)

one tea towel (muddy)

one baseball cup

three stumps (and probably the doo-daah that goes on top is in there too... wicket? who knows. Hate cricket.  Whoever decided it was a good idea playing in WHITE on GRASS in country where it RAINS a lot... deserves to be shot)

one weaving stick, broken

three non-matching goalie gloves

one baseball glove.

 

I'm not joking.

Life is pointless.

Sigh.

It's a bail. Honestly, I can't believe they let you have British citizenship. I am joking. Of course. You make me laugh.

mud.

A BRIGHT yellow umbrella that we use when we go to music festivals in the summer. It is bright yellow because that is hip. It is an umbrella because ...

I think I need a pink pig.

I wonder where the three other goalie gloves are? Do you think another person who looks out for lost items has popped them on a fence somewhere?

[Amy at love made my home]

Oh dear!! Makes me feel better though I have to say as although we seem to have a lot of junk by the backdoor at least there is no plague of cricket bats and swords!! xx

Looks like the pile to a happy and full life. At least the colors are bright and pretty!

I'm intrigued by the weaving stick, it sounds most mystical. We have those noisy bats as well. Who invents this stuff?

How lovely that your boys obviously enjoy playing outside. Mine is only interested in screens and buttons. Less washing involved, I admit!
By my back door are 72 plug plants, waiting to be planted out on a day when it's not going to hail.

Ha ha! One empty nappy bin (completed potty training, yay!), 2 pairs of crocs, one pair of my mum's cast-off garden shoes, a packet of unplanted tulips, a muddy spade, several spiders and a selection of sandals. Just wait til my little ones are old enough for cricket. The village cricket green is at the bottom of our tiny garden - there's going to be no avoiding it!
