Chapter Twenty

Joshua loved to garden early in the morning before he went to school

Jo meanwhile had been bitten by the upgrading bug and was busily trying to make their stove fireproof while Smudge played with his toy mouse

 Today Joshua and Tamara had a special treat at school

 A field trip to the local Science Facility and Hospital (housed in the same building) where Joshua was amazed at the strange plants they were growing

 Once the oven was upgraded, Jo spent some time on the phone to her new colleagues and boss, she was determined to get to know them better

 When Joshua got home he spent more time gardening

Before going down to the lakeside to fish 

 Smudge still got lots of attention from Jo

 And from Joshua once he returned from his evening's fishing

 Jo began to try and upgrade the tv while Joshua had his dinner

 The next day, after school, Joshua visited the consignment store on his way home

 Where he handed over some of his produce to be sold

 Getting home he spent some time fussing Smudge

 Before going back to his garden, the apple tree had produced lots of fruit

 He'd planted one of the apples he'd harvested and was looking forward to even better produce from it

 Inside, it was time for Smudge to grow into an adult cat

 After polishing his claws on the scratching post

 He began practising hunting with one of the toys while Jo and Joshua ate dinner

 Later that evening, Smudge tried to put his newfound skills to the test

 But was only able to catch a snakeskin, after which he curled up on the sofa to sleep
