Making a pleasant seating area under pergola
A lot of work needs doing to make this a lovely looking place to sit, but at least for the moment, it is shady and I am putting my things out to make it look nicer, and more interesting.

Hamsa prayer
I love this - saw it today on a gift plaque at Forest Lake shops. I'm going to try to say it every day.
Privacy block at the back, and side
So far, the growth of the mulberry and the banana trees have successfully blocked off the view to the back neighbour's back door. They used to sit on their back balcony and gaze at me and my place. Well, now they can't easily see through the foliage, and my hope is that the trees will become thicker, more dense and block the view altogether. It also means I cannot see them. Suits me - not interested in them at all.
16 Oct 2019 - The plants are growing well enough to begin to cover views from out the back - i.e., covering up the view of the back door of the house next door, and hopefully preventing them from seeing into my area too.
and from the side neighbours....I used an old cover for a market umbrella, and a large piece of shade-cloth to shield the side from the steaky-beaking eyes of the neighbours on the side.
