rainbow horse!

bean’s faaaavorite.  we have to watch her closely.  she’s like, bean’s national treasure or something.  life stops if she gets left somewhere, like nanna’s.  bean still chews her feet a little sometimes.

hedgehogs

hedgehog poop

have been pooping in my garden. i think one might be camped out under the summer house in the back. seeing as that’s where most of the poop is. becky put some milk and bread out for it the other night, but i am not sure if that’s what they like to eat. it’s eating something, though, judging from the piles of poo all over the place.

i hate electric lawn mowers. i always pitied anyone i saw using one in the US, as it was almost always some old lady with varicose veins, white socks, and green PF flyers who would actually stoop to using one. but it’s de rigueur here in the UK. i have a flymo. it’s supposed to hover. what it actually does is, like, wobble and scrape the squidgy lawn vegetables that pass for turf. and hedgehog poop. anyway.

ghost squirrels

.ghost squirrel

have come back to bother jim. it looks pretty peeved and vengeful to me. i’d be careful out in the yard if i were you.

then again, maybe it’s like the white buffalo, but it’s the white squirrel instead.  a harbinger of things to come.  better offer it a peanut, just in case.

bean brushing her teeth, sort of

is the strawberry of my eye. she’s 3 years 4 months now, and even though every day i tell her i couldn’t love her more, i do. she’s just the best.

kites

Posted by bob in kites

are going to be my obsession this summer.  i just know it. bean and i built one and beck, bean and i went down to the beach and flew it.  we made it out of bamboo, wrapping paper, string, and trash bags.  it was kinda wobbly but then it kind of broke a little and flew just great.

i wanna build a giant one out of pvc and tyvek and fly it really really high.  will post pics of progress… .

i’ve decided

Posted by bob in bob

to dump my previous site incarnation and turn rocheleau.co.uk into a blog.  it’s about time. the business side of things is now handled over at junkdesign.co.uk, so if that’s what you’re looking for, go there.

otherwise, this is the place for all things rocheleau in the UK.  and waukesha, wisconsin, if my brother jim wants to get off his butt and start writing too : )
