  1. What a full weekend. Thank goodness for work tomorrow, in some respects – it was a really great couple of days but I badly need some recharge quiet time!

    Yesterday was the Green Fair on the Square and I picked up my free plants, huzzah! Bumped into a friend, which was lovely. I also rode a bike to make a smoothie for Kid3 and then Dad and I went to a talk by a local elder about resilience and sustainability from an Indigenous perspective. That was super interesting and fascinating and I would have loved to stay and chat with her for hours.

    The rest of the day was errands and busyness. Today was a bit the same but with extra gardening (which was, of course, great). I planted the free plants and also the poor kangaroo paws that I believe have been waiting in their pots since last year 😬 Had to get quite aggressive with the trowel to break up some of the roots... hopefully they cope in the ground OK.

  2. Eeeee! A couple of years ago we had a single, uncharacteristically hot summer day of 42°C (like 110F or something, more or less) and it wiped out a bunch of plants and left others sunburnt and damaged. Understandably, the small patch of Corsican mint (that was growing in one section where the murdered lawn used to be) just turned up its toes and died...

    Or so I thought! Lookie here what's making a comeback!!
