A beautiful day here ... typical of what Spring OUGHT TO BE!
:)
Am glad for a few reasons ... but mostly coz it lifts my spirits.
It was also useful for getting the roof leaks sealed properly, which also is good for my spirits.
The insurance engineering person says the damage is minor, but that's from a person who is accustomed to seeing places washed away or roofs blown off I suspect.
I also suspect he isn't familiar with how tricky mud brick is to repair, but we'll see.
It's cornices etc replaced), then plasterer and then painting.
On the plants front I have discovered a new plant here ... or at least a new variant on a common one ... hypochromic is the word of the moment.
A plant with no colour in it but white; what was once labeled albino, apparently.
This is the customary colouring

Seem to have been on the go with lots of people around nearly all the time .... has me looking forward to being away again, especially knowing the kids have lots of end of year commitments that will mean lots of babysitting.
otoh hand I know how lucky I am to be part of things AND to be able to get away when I must.
This is a current project ... watching and waiting for seed on the one plant known to cousin farmer.
