What shall we do with the drunken shelving ?

I awoke thismorning to discover that Spring appears to have Sprung. It was still a trifle chilly in the shade, but very warm in the sun. I was also awoken by the twittering of the owls, who seem unduly excited.

	They've been looking forwards to a special project. As you can see, we have a broken garden shelving unit here. Clearly, it's load-bearing days are done, but... could we adapt it to a different use ?
	Weeeell.... I dunno Owls. I mean... sure, you can glue it back together, but it won't be strong enough to hold up plantpots ?
	Whilst we're waiting for the glue to dry, lets have a look at one of the mesh shelves....
	White Owl appears to be cutting some bubblewrap to size....
	... and Brown Owl is taping it to the shelf.
	OK... so... now we have a bubblewrapped shelf thingy. But... to what purpose ?
	Hmmmm.... the next stage of obviously very complicated....and requires careful planning.
	Ahhh.... they've bubblewrapped the shelving unit to form a sort of... box ?
	Hmmm... and now they've rested the bubblewrapped shelf thingy on top .... ??
	... and they appear to be using garden ties to form.... hinges ??
	Oh my goodness... It's a bubblewrap Cloche/Cold Frame. Now THAT's clever. Lets try putting some onions in it ?
	Well done Owls !!

Well, it's a bit rickety and weak... I'm not sure whether it will survive any strong winds... we'll have to wait and see. Still, I think a round of applause is due to the Owls ?

Watching them do all that work, wow! They are industrious.

And they'll be awake all night, as owls do, so I hope you give them Sunday off, Roofy

Prop a couple of bricks along the base edges, when it's going to be windy, or the flying bubblekite will be your latest invention
