Bedrock

Great start to the morning, sun was running flat out from very early on and has continued through the day. The girls went off to the Panateria and I stayed in bed – sounds like a plan  – anyway the critters on the left we found wandering around together and the patterns on their backs were interesting enough to take a picture of – no idea what they are…

The other critter photo was actually taken just 5 minutes before updating this blog but I figured it belonged in here.. very obliging – stayed put while I took several shots…

So then off we went to the garden centre to get some plants and to investigate irrigation systems – sadly the latter fell through as they had the pumps but no pipes to go with it – their loss – as usual – Ebay comes to the answer. There are a ton of systems therein and I’ll soon order and fit one of them – the problem is it gets VERY hot here in the summer and unattended plants just can’t manage it – but as we won’t be here all the time I need some kind of automated setup – hence the search for a cheap, reliable irrigation system.

This afternoon is proving to be a sun-tanning session, I’m at the computer, the girls are turning red….last I heard they were tea-totalling tonight but as we’ve just brought in a ton of wine I don’t think that’s going to happen.

Update: Wednesday – I’ve just discovered the most AMAZING new video editor – life-changer – I’ve been using crappy Ulead Mediastudio for years and this blows it out of the water.  So while I’m off taking videos in the mountains – here’s Maureen at her first flying lesson back in the UK just before we left!
