ta daaaa!! firstly mmm lunch and the lovely new mug from margaret brampton with some yummy tea...
and mud checking out whats going on up the garden that or checking out the rustling in the vine, could be a mouse or a lizard but they went to ground so no action there..
and the big mystery unveiling, ahh a lovely slab of concrete that survived the heat so far and last nights effort 2 posts in ready for some shade and pergola extension...yay!!
Lovely lunch, lovely kitty! What the heck are all those pipes for !?!? :)
ReplyDeleteyum summer salads....ahh ok one is the outlet from the filter to the pool, the next from the pool, next heater to pool, next from solar heater to the pump.. complicated lil set of pipes hope i put it back together right...
ReplyDeletethis is OZ hollis, appologies maybe im not much of apotter then...
ReplyDelete...put it in after a very good year work wise, freelance graphics most of the time..is a bit quite now hence more pots... :)
AAAHH, talk of pools and +33C weather..:)) sounds so lovely. I am forgetting what plus 33 degrees is like here in the 'great white north' of Alberta, where is was minus 30C AGAIN yesterday morning. tomorrow is bringing in a heat wave of -8C or something like that. Happy building of your pergola. :)
ReplyDeletehi trish wow minus 30C i have no idea what that is 5C and im freezing! hope the weather fines up soon and thanks its a challenge but we'll get there..
ReplyDeletelooking good so far... mud is a great name for a cat
ReplyDeletePOOL!!! every potter and artist NEEDS a pool!! I'd have a pool in a second but for more than half the year it would have to be an ice rink :o)
ReplyDeleteI'd settle for a hot tub right now, it's chilly with the fog. Great forming job on that concrete.
ReplyDeletehet jim the work continues at the evening part of the day, a tad cooler then, a beam is going up tonight and putting all the bits back together yey! ah yes mud he's 13 now and not in as much trouble as he used to be...
ReplyDeletehi cindy, well that makes sense, we only go from 4C - 44C so no risk of freezing up..well the thing is i hit a bump in the road quite few years ago and before hitting the 40 mark with blood pressure sky rocketing and found out my thyroid was cactus! so the keeping active thing is mostly about keeping well, hence the swimming and the running..and its good to have a bbq and friends around the kids love the pool!
hey linda, maybe a portable one then that would be a bit spooky in the fog, couldn't you head to warmer country parts now? oh and thanks i was out there in the dark didn't want it to look too shabby and i think its come up ok...stay warm..
That slab of concrete would be just nice to cover with a layer or two of fire brick. Add 4 walls and an arch, and...yay, another kiln is born! This one with preheated water injection! Lovely mug and cat too. And you have tinned beetroot too I see (often tastes better than the real thing!).
ReplyDeletehaahaa a bit close to the fence perhaps and a bit of singe and burn for the lemon tree but o like the thought! hey pete funny, isnt the mug a beauty got a sweet lil bowl too..ah love beetroot never really had much luck growing it trying hard with some tomatoes this year but our dirt is all sand so it need lots of help...
