Electrical upgrade

 Alinta Energy arranged for an electrician to come and give me an updated meter instead of the old one. Bloke called Brad, his own business, based in Hattonvale. Said he was replacing meters in many older houses around this area.

Front garden frangi growth, Spring and Summer 2020 -

 


Frangis in John's Garden, Oct 2020

 Recent heavy rains have helped add a new colour (green!) and stimulated some pleasing growth here.

The frangis are looking tall and I hope the next season will bring them taller than the fence - they are almost there.




26 Nov 2020 - Frangis are getting tall! The red frangi is already peeking above the fence line. I'm hoping for the other one, a fruit-salad to do the same this season.







Scenes from the garden after heavy rain

 We've had storms for the last few days, and the rain has been so, so welcome. Almost instantly, the front lawn went green!! Plants look less parched and although the ground is a sodden, muddy mess, I am very grateful that everything has had a good, long drink.

Front garden, Wed 28 Oct about 4pm. Sky darkening for a downpour. 
Grass already looking much greener!
