…the oiky builders are back with their mechanical stuff (what ever happened to picks, shovels and wheelbarrows?) and thumping radio, not to mention four vehicles cluttering up the street. I mentioned last time that there was work at each of the houses two to the east and two to the west of ours. Well, work has now started two houses to the south as well. I used to say that, in retirement, it’s just one long weekend. We’re looking forward to weekends now!
Not enough to put us off our lunch, though. Home made bread, home grown tomatoes. Of the tomatoes, mixed news. The Sweet Olive plants are cropping well, as you see. We’re trying remedial measures on the San Marzanos, but are not too optimistic.
Still, the flowering stuff is doing well:
The Justice of the Peace is at its best just now, and we have a first flower on the water lily. I notice a photobombing wild strawberry runner in the latter picture. They’re particularly vigorous this year: Martyn had a handful of their fruit in a smoothie a day or two back. They at least suppress some of the other weeds.
