Grapes Ahoy
Finally the first grapevine is starting to look serious… mind you it’s a good job it’s been rainy as my watering system had fallen to bits on this particular plant.
A lovely day here in Galera – could have been sunnier at times but most of the day it was clear skies and maybe 25c – not enough to warrant a trip to the lake but fine for getting jobs done along with the odd spot of sunbathing.
Tomorrow I’ve a brief trip to pick up Maureen after some shopping, the list for which is growing by the minute then we’re off to a BBQ at night.
Weather at the coast is apparently marvellous so I may set off extra early – there’s a rather nice coffee stand just outside of San Javier airport. That and a spot of shopping at the REALLY large Chinese store down there.
Got some good advice on weed-killing today, apparently the weedkilling (herbiceda) stuff here called “Glyfos” is cheaper and more powerful than the UK and now I know where to get it… watch out, dandelions….
