Renovations

Here he is...the painter....amongst other things!! We are getting the side entrance fixed up after all the leaks. We had the paint a while ago, so this is early stages. I did all the masking tape work, and the cleaning up....all the dull jobs, and now it is a question of "little by little" as we can't go at it like a bull at a gate...as we would have done years ago.
Today is the first day of him wearing the pain patches, so we shall see how he ends up.Probably too early to tell yet.

These are the patches we bought recently. They stick to the skin, and are joined by a wire, that sends impulses through, to stop the pain receptors from going to the brain, and therefore stopping some of the pain. No pills or potions, so we shall see.

My Yearly Photos

Here is Angus all geared up to go for a ride on his road bike. I have to say, he spends more time polishing and cleaning it than riding. Even the clothes get special attention. Most weekends he goes for a spin if he can, and if the weather is reasonable.

Every Spring, I go round the garden and take pictures, to show how much things have grown from last year. It has been a bumper year for Azaleas etc. and so far, no storms to spoil the flowers.

 Our little umbrella table in the back garden was in use last weekend, with such beautiful weather. We even had to move to get out of the sun!!

 I have put in a Herculean effort, and mowed, raked and weeded. I may never stand up straight again!!

It is lovely to see the grass so green. Give it another couple of months, and it will all be nicely crisp, and golden brown!! Such a shame!
