Semester break
So here we are at the end of the third semester, I always come to a sort of grinding halt for the first couple of days at the end of term, but today I’m ready to make a game plan for the next two weeks, so that I can attempt to catch up with all the things I didn’t quite get my head around during term time.
Next Tuesday is grandparents day at my grandaughter’s school, a day I wouldn’t miss, not that there will be many more as she is growing up and will soon be in highschool.
The weather is fantastic here in our Camelot environment, it often rains at night and is beautiful in the day. It’s great to see everything blooming, the mint has grown so high that I plan to cut some and dry it before the cabbage white butterflies get to it. In England I can’t remember anything that ate mint, but here in Australia the caterpillars love it and will eat the lush green leaves back to the stalk. The oregano, ginger and five spice have also come to life. There is nothing like those fresh herbs chopped into a salad made with spinach and rocket, yum.
Don is out in the garden hand watering the fruit trees, water is still short, even though we have had a little rain this month, August was one of the driest on record.
