Fav wall plaque

I've had this since my Albury days. I had it sitting on the front fence here, although it deteriorated over the years, the concrete would become crumbly, and it would hang lopsided.

Eventually, some bad weather wind slammed it onto the ground, and it broke into several pieces. I tried to stick it together with concrete glue (attempts can be seen in the top photos) but...to no avail.

I finally had to throw it out. Now I'm looking for something similar.

Henning fixes my taps

I have had all sorts of problems since I moved in, from tap ends falling off, to leaky washers.
Recently I was outside, whipper-snipping when a truck stopped. It was Henning (Anthony's friend) who said 'gee it's not often you see a girl whipper-snipping'. He's very old-fashioned.

Anyway, I asked him if he would come look at my taps sometime, and he finally came this weekend (last). It is good to have them done, and no longer being a pain in the a___.

Wet day in the garden

Sooo much rain this March!

From what it was!

Garden shots - start of March 2018

We've had so much rain lately, and for over a week, I could not mow, mainly because I was at work in the hours during which I would normally like to be in the garden. It has also been so very hot and humid. Yesterday and today, I got on to it, and restored some sense of order, although I badly need to whipper-snip. Thing is, about 3 weeks ago, I hurt my rib and it has not yet recovered (doctor next week).

So, the lawn is mowed and it's tidy enough for now, though not to my standards! My sore rib prevents me from wanting to be in the garden, which is not how I like things at all.

However, I do like it neat. It looks like a park. I am happy to see that the plants along the fence are filling out, and the jacaranda is much taller than me now!

I slaved all weekend over the garden, to get in top shape for the coming cooler season.

It looks good, but it costs me SO much time.
