Now just the thoughts of me and not my dog until I can persuade Husband we should get another.
(That's my grandfather at the back and two of my cousins in front.)

The only tin opener we can find in the house is a weird one that neither Younger Son nor I can work out how to use so I'm going to have to go and buy a proper tin opener before I can finish making curry sauce for dinner.
Is that normal?
Postscript
I don't have to buy a new tin-opener. At least not this evening. George bit it and Younger Son knifed it.

I've also been infected by an evil cleaning bug. While cleaning the lounge this morning (did I mention I was cleaning ...?) I was possessed and tore off the sofa cover to put it in to wash. 'It's a sunny day,' I said to myself. 'Covers have to be dried naturally so it's an ideal time.' I said all this knowing full well that the heat of the sun at this time of year is not strong enough to dry the cover so, come this evening, I'll be muttering under my breath - and out loud - about stupid ideas.
And as if that wasn't enough, then I put my dusters and polishing cloths (i.e. old t-shirts) in to wash.
'Go away, nasty cleaning virus! I hate you!'
I've had enough; I'm going out now.
Jay, aka The All-Knowing One, also suggested that the mystery flower could be an angel's trumpet. I compared it with google images and I think she could be right. I emailed Butchart Gardens yesterday to ask them to identify the plant for me; unless they say otherwise, I will bow to Jay in her wisdom.
She also loves Johnny Depp, which makes her indubitably wise in my eyes.

The full version.
Husband was working from home yesterday and he came for a walk with George and me. When he spotted the vine, he leapt on it and started swinging. That was enough to persuade George that this was a good idea. Unfortunately yesterday I didn't have the camera with me (unusually) and missed him tumbling off the edge of the river-bank. Today I took my camera in the hope of encouraging George to do a repeat performance.
He didn't need any encouragement.

And here's the one I made at the edge of Lake Maligne. Like the Olympics logo it's an inunnguaq (meaning 'like a human figure'.)And to get it into perspective ...I doubt if mine will last many years: it was probably knocked over by the first strong gust of wind. They're not as easy to make as they might appear!
To quote from The Inuksuk Book by Mary Wallace, 'Today as traditional ways are changing into contemporary ways Inuit, and even non-Inuit, sometimes build inuksuit simply to mark their presence ... in their travels outside of their homeland.'
