Oops, forgot to shoot the fig:
It’s only ickle, but it’s got loads of figlings.
On Saturday morning we heralded the arrival of the Dish Washing Fairy:
Long may it live in our house.

Plants! Loads of them. New ones.
Ambassador Kosh. Hallway plant extraordinaire:
Ficus. Was unhappy in the front garden, so we put it in a red thing. Now it happy :) .
Frangipani. Came to the house as a leafless stick, from Casa Tanya (thanks!)
Two new climby jobbies – on the tree, and on the pergola (Wisteria o’ Doom! Growing at a sillyfast pace).
Middle of the succulent patch, finally filled: yay!
Close-up of the amazing airbabymaker:
Along the edges of the leaves, it grows little babies. The babies grow roots, then they fall off and plunge the roots into the ground. They grow up so fast… *sniff*
The Amazing Miracle Tree TM:
Hopefully Parfles will correct me if I’m wrong, but this thing is about a year old and it’s already over 2m tall. Holy leafy goodness, Batman!
And now for some furniture.
2nd-hand bench, painted and shinied by Parfles:
Beautiful (and comfortable) bench bought for us by Eck (thank you!):
Screen for outside shower, made from old shutters, painted and installed by Parfles, with unexpected finishing help from Jean, on Sunday.
Apologies for the low-level commentary.
Work crazy!
Me crazy!
Mad people crazy!
It’s crazy!
