So many small steps

 So even though these lanterns are not wired up yet, I decided to put them up, so that they look good. Finally got round to completing the job - there are some white ones to go up yet on the front of the pergola. It's raining now, so that will have to wait for another day.


I think it all looks good. Imagine how great it could be when the wiring is finally done!

It just takes so long, and so much effort to get it all just-so.

Sold lots of seeds

 







Christmas Day, 2020

 








I got some great garden ideas from Pacific Fair, 2 Jan.

 





1 Jan, 2021 - we went to church

 Mum and I went to church down the road. Had a priest who was rather odd - he had officiated at a Steed Christening lately.

Looks like a cross between John the Baptist and Costa Gioradis (Gardening Australis, with the beard).

Not a great Mass, but Mum saw Margie and the Shannons, and I enjoyed a huge poinciana tree in the church grounds, as well as my floaty short dress. Even those light sleeves are too hot for this summer weather.

I helped Mum produce a lunch for all, and John, and then we all flopped and watched  couple of episodes of The Crown on Netflix.







2 Jan 2021 - we drove to the Gold Coast

 Anthony drove well, but it was a horrible day with him losing the car and being in a mood. John was hot and could not walk far.

I only got a glimpse of the sea. The cafe was awful.

The Gold Coast is dreadful, seedy and full of mid-Eastern men.
