2 - 7 March 2016
The weather is chilly and damp. We've been told by Rowan that he has the window frames ready for our West wall (the bedroom and bathroom windows - both of which would be wonderful to have). So we are watching the long-range weather forecast for a one to two week spell of mostly fine weather. Once we take the tarpaulins down off the West wall, we want a good run of plastering before the next storms. Currently there are a string of thunderstorms expected, so the windows are on hold.
On Tuesdays we have art group in the studio now, as Mamma Mia is gearing up for the season. It's nice to be spending time in there. Then Jade comes to do an hour guitar lesson with Dave. Then Rosa comes and does an hour each of singing with Jade, Dave and I. Then it is tea time! So Tuesdays are the creative (and early morning housework) day.

With the weather so bad, we're doing guerrilla gardening in the dry spells. We have this fabulous chomper (wood-chip maker) from Bosch that we can feed our olive and oak prunings into and create bucketloads of woodchip for mulching the swales and tree circles.
And whenever I can, I dig in another tree. Three in a day is a good day.
The first of two figs to go in.
A mandarin orange, with a young olive, two hazels and a pine in the background.
