NOT A LOT is what I wrote in my day book, but I think it included some supermarket shopping, a visit to a car hire place to book something up for next week, swimming, eating, drinking, blah. blah, blah………. typical holiday stuff.
And a look round their garden. H & H have a magnificent garden, full of stuff everywhere. Here’s just a few things I spotted.
Plants grow here very quickly in the season, but they don’t last as long. Watering is a 2 hour experience every night during the summer months. Just before I came out, it had apparently reached temperatures of over 40 degrees C for 6 weeks on the trot – a bit hot even for the “native” expats.
At one stage I had a nice green reading companion – a baby praying mantis, I believe.
