Whilst the cat is sleeping with the potatoes,

Gnome is mixing bitumen, his newly discovered favourite thick liquid.  And why, may I ask?  He says it is waterproof and works better than burn oil (old crank case engine oil that locals use to protect wood from rot and termites).  Also, Gnome says it is black and shiny and satisfying to apply (Yippee!!).

Oh, and what is Munchkin doing??  Hmmmm…cleaning the infamous barrel of course…

I am sure the suspense is getting to everyone by now…what is this mystery barrel for anyway?  I should conclude this soon before you all get annoyed with me dragging this one out…Ha-Ha!!

So, Gnome has been appearing and disappearing inside a 55 gallon barrel for a few days and he won’t tell me what he is up to.  This morning, I found him coming out of the barrel with a silicone gun in his hand.  Caught in the act…of what though??

He came out of the barrel and gave an enigmatic smile.  This is what he said:

“Okay, Munchkin I am charging you with the Munchkin job of cleaning the inside of the barrel!”

Munchkin reply: “I wasn’t aware that a Munchkin’s job was to clean the inside of barrels.  Hmmmm….I need to check Wikipedia for the list of approved Munchkin jobs…”

What is this Secret Gnome Stuff??   And now he’s making Munchkin clean the barrel.  So the friendly banter continues with Munchkin and Gnome and you are probably wondering…are these guys for real?

Hello!!  Yes we are still messing around with our website and trying to get the shop up and running.  Most of the links should be working now on the Blog.

Just in case you think we are getting “square eyes” staring at a computer screen all day, here’s an amusing picture to show that Gnome is still messing around on the farm.  Gnome in a barrel…

Munchkin: “Gnome, what are you doing in the barrel?”

Gnome: “Secret Gnome Stuff…”

What’s Gnome up to??  Got to wait for the next thrilling instalment!!  Never a dull moment on the farm…yes, live vicariously through the magical lives of Munchkin and Gnome…Ha-Ha!!
