WHY is knitting wool so expensive? Not only the posh crafty stuff like Colinette; even mostly-acrylic chunky wool is about £3 a ball, and you need at least 10 balls to make a jumper. For *actual* wool, not the stuff Proper Knitters call "yarn", you're looking at £5 a ball, or £8 for merino or lambswool. Since I get itchy from Actual Wool other than merino, cashmere & Colinette, I'm going to be very poor, very quickly :(
Poo.

Short grass just menas that the cats rely on their psychic camouflage to stalk things (i.e. they lie in the middle of the lawn and *will* the birds not to see them...)
Donkeys (or even "donketys") sound fun...
