Gone bananas

A couple of days very heavy rain, again, put paid to any decorating, too wet, damp and unable to open the windows. Quite a bit of prep though, washing and sanding down ready to go.

Yesterday was a nice warm bright sunny day so I took the opportunity to start glossing again. In our bedroom suite there are 8 doors, 5 of them slatted (they are going to be a pain) plus the usual wainscoting etc, anyway the 2nd bedroom door and the balcony door got the treatment. I placed the onion in the area but the fumes were pretty strong so I added a bowl of dry bi carb, that seemed to do the trick.

With all the rain in the last month everything has gone bananas, this is the pretty time with all the flowers parading before the temperatures rise, but this year its gone potty.

This geranium seems to have quadrupled in size

The herb garden is mainly rosemary and sage at the moment, it´s great that its gone potty as I use a lot of these herbs. The bees are loving it with all the purple flowers in bloom, a constant hum with their busyness.

A ´sea view´across the top garden, it´s well in the distance but still there lol, we have a different view from the courtyard, Calpe which is must nearer and can even make out the shipping.

A little reading too, treated myself to a couple of books on kindle that had been recommended, rather than the rubbishy freebies. A little knitting, clothes mending and a few play dates. Friday went down to play and then Theo decided that he was quite happy playing on his own, which gave us the opportunity to sit and have a lovely chat and good old catch up. He has a large car transporter with different compartments for his smaller cars, I love the way he pronounces the words so clearly and matter of fact. He has started to tag on the word actually at the end of his sentence, all in context, so sweet.

Warm and sunny again so I think more painting, have to finish it before the temps rise too much and the paint dries on the brush

take care
