It is difficult to get much motivation with the uncertainty of this visa business hanging over me. I just want to go back now.
I managed to take some crap to the tip, and re-cemented the coping stones that edged the patio.
I made a jig from some half inch plywood that allowed me to spread the mortar evenly along the wall. Then all I had to do was set the coping stones on top of the muck, and they were all set at the correct height.
I am sure I had seen something similar, so I wouldn’t claim originality, but it helped a lot.
I have also had to soak up some time “Dead heading” the flowers. I’ve never done that before, wow what a responsible I have now. Ironically I removed the grass because I wanted a maintenance easy garden, but now I have to spend a lot more time on it than before. However I must say all my fingers have now gone green, and I can’t wash it off.
Another Lifetime to go
