Week 4 Monday 21January.

Sunday night  became Monday morning as I stayed up till after 1am watching the match between Roger Federer and Stefanos Tsitsipas. An exciting match and it was impossible for me not to watch it until the end.

Mondays seem to have become stay at home and housework days. Not difficult when one is in such a beautiful place.

There is a narrow border round the terrace and a long border down the side of the house. Various cacti, impatiens, salvia, runner beans, tomatoes, parsley and mint as well as a few other odds and ends. I’m trying to keep the beans and tomatoes going by saving all the washing up water for them. I think that I shall cut back the impatiens as they have got very leggy. They don’t die back here as the winters are frost free.
