Today has been bright and sunny with enough wind to make it worth hanging washing out on the line. I've found why Fluffy Cat is always in our garden, he likes to sleep on top of a cupboard in the shed where the sun shines in and he is sheltered from the wind. Today he stood yowling at Patch until my presence made him turn tail. Speedy has already found the way around the row of houses so I can let him out of the front door and when he's had enough he comes through the cat flap from the back garden. Patch just waits by the front door until I let him back in again.
First thing this morning I painted one last coat of paint on the back wall. In the afternoon the men from the Hospice shop came to collect the mirror which was in the garage. We took the opportunity to ask them to help us move the big pine cupboard from the garage into the house. Peter bought a small trolley which is useful for moving stuff. While we were at the garage we put the round garden table on its side to take up less room. We also discovered that the garage roof leaks, not a lot but noticeable in a couple of places after the recent heavy rain. Luckily I had saved my old heavy plastic tablecloths which came in useful to cover up things for the moment. We were chatting to our neighbour whose garage is next to ours and they have a similar problem. The roof is made of wavy concrete asbestos boards and there may be something to paint/spray on to make it waterproof.
Now that the cupboard is in place against a white wall it is beginning to feel a bit more like home.
Tonight's sunset from the back (above) and the front (below) of the house.
