Capsicum coming.

Lousy photo but I was way out of my comfort zone at the time.
Olivia planted some capsicums the other week, one sadly died but the others seem to be thriving, this one has a flower and checking the photo it appears the green ants will spread some pollen about. We're both looking forward to seeing results.

More work.

While I was at it I fitted a waterfall shower fixture I'd been planning to do for ages.
Happily the law was changed a few years ago to allow mere mortals to fit their own shower heads, this was due to pork barreling a few years ago when green initiative taxpayer money was used to hand out water saving heads to homeowners, who if they followed the law then would have had to call in a plumber and very possibly need a 2nd mortgage to pay for having it fitted, so the law was relaxed and we can now fit shower heads as well as tap washers, but not the whole tap, that would require a plumber.
Australians imagine we live in a free country but we must be about 200th on the list of freedoms.
Pity I can't test it yet due to wet cement.

A good day to do a chore.

Today marks two years since I lost Grace, a truly terrible day so perhaps it's fitting that I should do an unpleasant chore and have a go at patching the floor of our shower, something that has been in poor condition for a number of years.
I glued a blue bit of matting years ago to cover the very poor crack repair I had done.

The mat cracked when removing so it'll find somewhere else it can be of use.

The bad bit is cut out here, the floor is fairly decent underneath with nice tiles.

I just filled the hole with mortar, I'm hoping it won't leak but what I really want is something solid to stand upon.

Nice.

Olivia loves her flowers.

Two years coming up.

Next Thursday marks the second anniversary of Grace's death, I've found Saturday to be the best day for visiting the cemetery so this is close enough.
I gave her some fresh flowers and left one from our yard, just as I did at the funeral.

Tragic.

One of the capsicum plants Olivia has doted over has wilted away. The others still appear OK, hopefully.

Paxton.

Olivia got a new friend on Friday, I found a name from an actor who shared his birthday.
