QUE LLEGA OTOÑO

Summers over and autumns here, the waters running dry but at least the plants have survived.Its not so hot anymore and one can get some work done on an evening -although nights falling earlier every day,until the hour changes at least.Ive got some new steps put in so that Carmen can finally get down the terrace without tripping up and shes carried on with the wall to finish off the pool base.




Then when we started to think about how long the beck would run for it started to rain -leaving it all a bit muddy so that Carmen made the most of the opportunity to do a bit more work on the porch floor.

EL PORCHE

Well its been a long dry summer and theres not been a lot going on at home -just regular visits to water the garden and sort the drip system out. Unfortunately the hosepipe kept blocking and the neighbours horse walked on it and opened a junction so i kept on losing water or it didnt arrive at the deposit. Thats meant that the veg patch has suffered dryspells so not much of a crop-the only thing that ive had much of an exit with has been the onions cause they dont need much looking after!
Anyway its been so hot that during the day theres not been much that one can do but sit around reading-well me anyway ,Carmen is more used to it being from this area so shes been doing bits of her walls and suchlike. The problem is that we havent had any shaded areas outside to sit under to do the reading in so we finally got around to setting up a porch,on a day when it was cloudy.
Next year no more problems with the shade!!!!!

The most surprising thing has been the frights given to Carmen by the squaters! Lo mas sorprendientes ha sido los sustos dado a Carmen por los okupas!!!!
