It's not about how you look, it's about how you see


I have read many ways of saying this message but I really like this one.....and it makes a great tee shirt too Amy.



The kids have come to town.
It's puppet making day in Siem Reap.
Their task was to make a giant leaf insect for a  parade in a few weeks time.








Mission accomplished, I'd say.

The potting shed
There has been some more eyeballing going on.  
Where to put the potting shed....
Where to put the raised garden beds.......
How far between the beds and the shed.......
What can we see and from where.........


The beds look so much bigger here than they did in the tiny space at Kew.
We managed to fill one of the beds with appropriate "earthy stuff "so that I could get the herbs into some dirt.They had been left overnight and were all looking pretty sad I must say, but a good soak might see them rejuvenate.
 I'm hoping so.



 The little stands that you see on the bottom of the boxes go into the ground( holes made with the crow bar) and a bit more eyeballing and adjusting sees them sitting flat (well, flat-ish).
The flat square in the foreground is the floor of the shed and the bit in front of it is the veranda


All on hold now.
It's too hot to be out there.

Sewing machine table
The Singer table is in position and looking a treat.
Thanks for the suggestion Jo.



The concrete pot on the table was the only pot rescued from the potting shed. All the others fell to pieces as soon as we picked them up. It has some battle scars too.



A new seating arrangement in the garden room
On the other side of the french doors we have put a small round table and two chairs.


It's a read- the- paper kind of table.
Or a cup- of- tea kind of table.
Or an eat- your -breakfast kind of table.
Too hot for the blinds to be open today. It's been a scorcher here. We are struggling to keep the water up to everything including ourselves.

That little boy.....

Flynn wanted Kiann to take his photo.....
And then it was "tantrum central" when the ride stopped apparently.
No.......never....that wouldn't be right!
They've been baking up north in the Pilbara.
Stay cool everyone.
