Bits n bobs

More painting, this time in our bedroom, we have double doors, but I only painted one so far with a new pot of gloss. The coverage is so much better, think I will get away with one coat, oh but the fumes are really strong, even the onion trick was struggling.

We haven´t bought any tomato plugs this year so I decided to use the trick where you slice bits off and plant them. They came up really well and now I have transplanted them to grow on, hopefully some nice cherry toms to come. Did the same with the strawberries but they didn´t come up.

Tidying up the courtyard from last years old pots and the heavy rain of late, took mint and geranium cuttings which are growing well,  

I wanted a sort of Moroccan look solar light for the courtyard, spotted this one and love the way the pattern splays out

Last Monday the nursery was closed for the fiesta, so Rebecca and I took Theo off to the beach as we had a few other things to get too. Last time we went there the sand was very course and gritty, this time it had been replaced with light soft sand, much better to play with. We had a nice treat of lunch out as it was warm and sunny.

I actually picked up my knitting again, haven´t done any for ages so it was a nice change

Time for lunch

take care
