Holiday paint jobs

Painted the white sections on the front awning this morning. It was a devil's job to get the blue painter's tape off - I had left it on too long and it stuck to the borders. Managed to scrape it off with finger nails! I think the white looks cleaner now, and I will need to do another 2 coats, but I will have to go over some spots on the black sections where there are smudges of white, alas.

The garden looks nice from up here too!

I still have some red paint to scrape off the outdoor seat, especially at the top, but it definitely looks much better painted in white, and pops against the black fence.

It's time to paint the rest of the rails at the top of the pergola at the back, if I can stay awake that long. It's 35C hot today. I do lioke how the grape vine has made this kind of like a green tunnel! I still want to paint leaves in various greens on the back fence to enhance the 'jungle' and cool feel.
