I get by the handicap by going for neutral colours and simple lines. And someone taught me that colours will match if there are similar underlying tones. So, I go with those simple rules and very few people know that I have absolutely no taste and no eye.<br /><br />I'll move all the furniture over, paint all the walls creamy white... and I guess that is about all the decor I'm prepared to put effort into. So I dun think it's that much of a hassle. Of course, friends will probably note that the house isn't as pretty as it should be, but I guess coming from me, it'll surprise no one. Heh!<br /><br />The grasshoppers are placed into a pen and when the kids are done counting them, the pen is opened and the grasshoppers go back into the grass. The pigeons come back and munch 'em up I suppose.<br /><br />Milo would love them I suppose but he's never seen them. Little Boy catches them in school and Milo has never been to school. I rather think the Principal will have some stern words with me if I arranged for Milo AND Little Boy to go to school.

If you don't hear from me in December, I might just have become a popsicle... =p<br /><br />When will you be able to move into the new place? Are you planning the deco, furniture etc yet? So fun (and <i>ma fun</i> at times) ^^<br /><br />By the way, what does little boy do with the grasshoppers? Does Milo get interested in them too?Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561249610010369857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210435929787404330.post-37748075560826698482010-10-26T16:38:14.469+08:002010-10-26T16:38:14.469+08:00Malar - Thanks!Malar - Thanks!Petunia Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168448898497786754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210435929787404330.post-13133603919752229432010-10-26T14:02:13.167+08:002010-10-26T14:02:13.167+08:00Wow!
