After the silliness of yesterday’s post, today, something quicker. A ‘garden’ update. We still say, ‘I’m going to water the garden,’ when we don’t have one. It’s a courtyard, and we’re off to water the plants, not the concrete, so…
The innumerable chili plants are doing well, the second rose is growing, other things are doing whatever they do, and Dionysus is growing his hair while the temperature hangs around the 30° mark. This was on Saturday, but it’s been pretty consistent apart from a cooling wind on Sunday which has now gone.
There are some more plant photos to share another day. Today, though, I have a quiet day at home planned, with some typing to do this morning, while Neil is readying the ‘spare room’ for his brother who is calling in on Thursday night on his way to Tilos on Friday afternoon.
Later this week I hope to call down to Yialos not to gawp at another hundred people who got off of the boat, but to take delivery of a new fan, and while there, pay the accountant for doing out tax returns, and that, along with some piano, looks like it’s going to be the highlight of my week. That is, if it hasn’t peaked already when, yesterday, my piano pupil perfectly played the first two pages of the second movement of Mozart’s sonata number 16 and did well on the third movement too (the first movement, we ‘did’ last week, and that, too, is nearly there). Which reminds me, I need to go and look up grade five requirements to see exactly what grade he is, I reckon it’s kind of 4.5, but there isn’t such a thing, so… I’ll go and do that now, and leave you to water the rest of the garden.
