February 23rd and 24th

Knitting little things for a friend. I must admit, I'd rather knit things of a decent size as I find the little cuties a bit too fiddly for my taste.

The 23rd is of course the birthday of Rotary. 110 years today since Paul Harris founded Rotary by inviting 3 like minded individuals. As they say: From little things, big things grow.

It is a rainy day and I have to find a slot between showers to take the dogs for their walk. The washing is not drying on the line outside before nightfall so it gets left hanging there.

Today, I'm learning a valuable lesson: Do not leave the washing on the line overnight as the possums can use that to walk across to one of the hanging baskets of fuchsias.
Shame on them! It's not as if I never feed them.




A join in the irrigation - from the Fuji Clean septic tank - has burst and the water is pouring out there instead of going to all the sprinklers, flooding one of the garden beds and leaving the others high and dry.
Luckily, this former farmer is not helpless when it comes to such repair jobs. A few minutes of my precious time - and some boiling water to soften the poly pipe - fixes the problem.

While I'm outside, I make the most of the mild, dry weather to do some weeding and planting some seeds, before taking the dogs for some beach walks.
