They kind of look like the remnants of bark that has fallen off.

But no.

Only one side is damaged.

I took this photo so you can see the difference – spotty one side, clear the other.

At night these trees are luminous in the moonlight.

I wonder how long it will be before they gleam, smooth and white, again.

Our brick wall

We have a little problem with our walls. They are… thinning a bit.

I’m wondering if all we need is a bit of render…

What do you reckon?

Okay clearly maybe more than a bit.

Our walls were exposed recently when I asked my dad round to help me prune back a grevillia which had grown a little large and was blocking access to our side gate.

I’ll bring my chainsaw said Engineer of the Year, and he did, along with the mulcher.

I love the mulcher. I love the way you feed in a branch and it sucks it in and spits it out in tiny bits… And then you have mulch. It’s just all good.

So of course I got a little carried away – a chainsaw, a mulcher, a parent. The perfect formula for adiosing three trees and a few branches… and the grevillia.

One of the branches came from the bottlebrush tree and smelled like essential oil when it was munched up.

It was a fine afternoon’s work but now the wall is exposed… and seemingly our front garden as well.

Sigh.

They are first class “dad” jokes Anita!

River you’re right and I would bother for one brick. Sadly we have a great many “windows”. I’ll post a photo soon so you can see what I mean.

Jen – thanks 🙂

Joh – yes – but he was under direction. 🙂 I love a man with a chainsaw.

PQ – me too. I wants one.

Anita came back with: Dad jokes for sure!

Just thinking… in Italy you see little holes in walls like this all the time, with metal garnishments to give you sneak peeks into secret worlds… perhaps you could modify this hole somehow to make it look “on purpose”?

😉

To which I replied: Anita – what I like about you is your positivity!

You’re definitely glass half full!
