More of the Same

Hi There! How are all your weekends going?
We had good painting weather today – hot, dry and breezy.
Managed to get two coats on the back veranda walls and a second coat on the first panel we started. Definitely looks better with the second coat

Tall people are handy with paintbrushes!!

I think that was only the first coat. Its a bit yellower than I probably wanted, but from an overall view its not too bad. We are going to do all the trim in a federation-style green as well… first things first. Walls need doing.

We will be moving on to the daunting tricky parts soon. There are a lot of boards that really need replacing as well as some windows. But $$$ so before we can do that, we will just paint and at least it will offer some protection to what’s there.

Even had time for a little gardening – namely pulling out the hothouse tomatoes that were really pretty much dead.

I was surprised they died off so quickly. The fruit was tasty and plenty but smaller than normal. Not sure if its something I did or just dud stock.

Anyway, more than enough self seeded tomatoes to replace them with. And the poor chillies REALLY needed some breathing space!

I know I am not supposed to just plant the same thing back in the same spot… I may have regrets later, but…

Now what to do with the massive bucket of tomato plants!!?? (Something to worry about another day)

Second passionfruit! A little bigger than the first. I ate the small one today as it seemed ripe enough… a bit tart but pretty tasty.

A few more outdoor tomatoes ripening – I’ll be making relish before I know it!
Well… bedtime for me. Got a big day planned tomorrow so I need to not be awake so late!
Enjoy what is left of your weekend!

Cheers
