This morming I got up and with difficulty moved all my plants back near the wall of my house. It took about half an hour and some acrobatic expertise. I am not as strong as I used to be so need to compensate in other ways. Hopefully I’ll not need to move them again.

The painter arrived tonight and finished all the little bits. Then left me with some half bags of cement and left over paint.

Today after my flower moving effort I spent a couple of hours lying down.

By lunch time I had recovered.

I worked on a portrait that I might take to the exhibition.   It was different as these crayons work better on the small canvases and this is a rougher canvas board.

I haven’t  been out since my little trip.

So I made myself go out and up the horrible steps. Returned safely without incident….and carrying  lots of shopping.

The flowers are all watered now and I’ll be all tidy for August.

Haven’t decided what to do with stone Anne and James.

Am so glad it’s  the weekend.
