18th June 2023
Father’s Day USA started with messages from Damian and Ryan, so they hadn’t forgotten me at all.
We had a breakfast of French toast made with cinnamon bread, on the deck. The air reminded me of holidays as a kid, there was a smell that was different, and here it was again.
We decided to do our shopping today, mainly because we were out of everything.
It was not a day to work on, I did a bit of polyurethaning, but that was it. There were the plants that we got yesterday to put in the metal bins, but first we had to remove the pebbles that were in there. It was a lot easier to pour them in than to take them out. At times were we’re removing them one at a time, but after a time it was handfuls, dead leaves as well.
There were eight bags of new dirt to fill the bins with, and even that wasn’t enough.
There was also an appointment to go to Kelli’s mum for a Father’s Day dessert with Matt and Brenda, and Greer and Dylan. Greer gave me a card that was lovely and had a touching message in it.
Afterwards we rode our bikes back, this was our ride for the day, then it was back to the planting.
We both managed to sit on the deck at the end of the day, very rare, but it was nice to have nothing to do, listening to the cars and the birds, a Sunday treat.
