Nigel's Birthday 5 July 2021

 

Windy mess at back

 Th winds brought all the dead leaves from the pink coral down at the back. I am yet to get up there to pull off the dead vines, but this at least has allowed quite a lot more light in to the back area. It's a start.

I cleaned up yesterday afternoon (Sunday 18 July).

Mid July 2021

 It's been cold and windy for a few days, as is usual. although the winds seem early. The Ekka is not for another month!

Working at RPSHS

 

Me this year and 3 yrs ago.

 I prefer my hair longer and straight, as in the 2018 photo!

I take 6 pills a day

From left:

orange - Femostin Conti for hormone control after menopause

little blue (actually white) - perindopril for high BP

green and white capsule - 20 mg fluoxetine for my moods

brown - Vit B tab

yellow oil - Vitamin E for joint pain (hip)

two white tabs - zinc for healing

Sometimes I take a large white magnesium tab too, especially when I want to feel calmer.

 

Orange creeper - more

 I bought another creeper to put along the fence facing Mum's place. I think with the potato vine, it should look quite pretty with the white. I still need to remove the pink coral along that side, but will do that when it is drier and both replacements have grown up a bit more.

Lots of further info about this plant HERE

7 July - when Mum and I were out and about recently at Bundamba (near Mum's Bendigo Bank offices), we spotted this amazing lot of the same orange creeper, growing up trees and along a very long, and quite high, fence.
