Small Tasks

Can’t waste that sunshine!

Hello!
It was another superb autumn day out there!
I just worked my way through a list of stuff – and happily crossed quite a few off it!

I gave my boots another polish and a little bit more glue – they are looking a lot less homeless-like. (and I am really liking the purple!)

Speaking of purple – I cooked another batch of pickled beetroot. I can’t believe how much of the stuff I have eaten this season!!

Handy coffee jars!

Apart from misc. housework  (having a fire is wonderful but oh-so-messy!) I got into the garden in a small way.

I want to ‘bed down’ the patches that I won’t be using to save on weeding in spring.

There is a really nice big potato plant in there too – leaving that to see what happens. It looks pretty happy!

All weeded and seaweeded too!

The Portulaca had well and truly had it, so it was time to pull them up. I grabbed a few more seeds as I went

These were such a pleasure in the garden and bloomed for so long. I am really hoping I can grow my own from the seed next season. I would love to have a lot more of these around

Plants, weeds gone… seaweed arrived

By that time it was getting on in the afternoon. I had arranged to meet Fiona at the Sisters Beach turnoff and go for a walk together.

Such a great day to be outside! Its still hard to get a sense of this very steep little intense part of the walk via the photo! Its a testing one that’s for sure!
I didn’t get the camera out much this walk – we were racing the sun as I forgot my head torch. The sun is disappearing at about 5 – 5.30pm at the moment.
But I did get this:

Time for bed I think.
Tomorrow is a whole new list to work on!

Cheers

Pip knows his comforts!
