24th July 2020
We held our daily walk around the garden checking what flowers have bloomed. It’s a good start to the day, I have found myself drawn to the weeds in the lawn. I use the word lawn loosely, the grass quality, and quantity is scratchy. In the sun, large areas dry out and die, but the weeds don’t, so as part of my daily ritual is to go round pulling up these buggers.
It might be a hopeless case, but it is therapeutic to me.
It should take most of the summer to clear them, just in time for the cold weather, then next year the whole thing will start again.
We both worked on a couple of pieces in the garage, it was very warm even with the wind machine going at full tilt.
A lady turned up with a small table she wanted painted in the same colour of a table she had bought from us at the beginning of the year. She had the paint mixed from the sample we had given her at the time, so we didn’t have to worry about that.

We cooled off in the pool, both of us feeling drained due to high humidity, I think we both nodded off for a while, like a pair of old farts.
