Zoo Day.

The day began with some sun but for the most part it has been cloudy and windy

Back to the zoo again. I wasn't sure how my back would hold up but I ended up being there for nearly four hours though on reflection that might have been a bit much.

And this is the result of my work, a long and narrow flower bed in which I'll be planting ice plants to attract the bees. I'll also be putting in some hardy geraniums. I will have plenty of those when I split the plants that have travelled with me from Dingles. That should brighten up the area.

The green patch on the wall is where a there was a little cabin over the bench which was too dilapidated to repair. I rearranged the plastic bins and tidied up some plant pots that were around the place. The smaller red box contains a fire extinguisher and as I found out, when you open the box lid it sets off a fire alarm. Hopefully the wall will be given a fresh coat of brown before I begin planting.

By the time I got home great breakers were sweeping in all across the bay. Wonderful to watch as I rested in the sitting room. A couple of surfers (centre of the photos) were out catching the waves. Later the waves were not as big and there were more surfers and some SUPs as well.

I finished my afternoon by unpicking the elastic cuffs from another pair of joggers that I bought for Peter. So many rows to unpick, blasted overlockers.
