Quick visit 15-17 July 2022

 Just a quick visit by me

I left Melbourne after 6, and got to Inglewood around 8.30 as I'd stopped for petrol in Ravenswood

Rustled myself up some leftover dinner, and then ate it on my lap watching Beautiful Lies with Audrey Tatou.  It was an ok movie - not as good as Amelie 


On Saturday, I indulged myself, and had breakfast in bed, and read the Age on my ipad.

Then got up, and had a coffee with Denise in Cafe 3512 - the cafe next to Denise still isn't open  

Then did a little bit of gardening 

Planted a replacement kiwi fruit


Took some mulberry tree cuttings - hopefully they'll strike


Admired my frilly jonquils, I have plenty of the other non frilly ones


And was also pleased to see that I had some cumquats


And a tree full of other citrus.  Because they were so orange, I thought they were oranges.  But they have a pointy end, so are in fact lemons



I also looked at the plastering work that Vic had done - first coat around the man hole, and the entrance to the garden room.  Looking good 

And Ihad a closer look at the large crack in the back downstairs hallway.  You can now see through to the kitchen.... - ie see light through it.  You don't normally notice this because the kitchen door is normally open and therefore covers the holes.

I stuck a piece of wood through the gap - and it seems to me as though the wall is only one brick thick.  I also assume not a load bearing wall, and that's why it cracked.  But Justin says not to assume such things - when I told him later.




Vic had also uncovered what I assume was the old electricity cable going through to upstairs  All disconnected now though - so safe to touch.


Went up to Terry's at 2.30 to work out the dinner for the Christmas in July

Another leftover dinner - and watched Like Crazy - quite enjoyed it


Sunday, and once again, breakfast in bed, reading The Age

It was dull and rainy for most of the day, so left for Melbourne after lunch
