Does my tail end look big in this?

Weighed and dewormed the kittens. They have grown well, Mörkö was even heavier than Kaapo here, but he moved so much that we didn't get an accurate reading. But no, their tail ends don't look too big!

Light at the end of the tunnel: got the van fixed with a neighbour's son who works in a garage which repairs VWs, asked tips to fix the scooter from another neighbour who owns a similar one and is also a mechanic, and asked my cousin who knows a few things about working with things made out of steel, what he thinks could be done to the rake's axle. 

The cold is not giving up though, but it's not terribly bad either (yet?).
