Last week I pulled the last of the plants out and disposed of them - not good for the shoulder but it is looking better. I now have a lot of roots to remove and will put some more plants in the bed above the wall.
Of course, there is always "help" when one goes out in the garden. This photo was taken quite late in the day hence the low sun.
I have done some more walks. The Parkinson group went back to the Onerahi Airport but walked on the lower road alongside the water. I went up Parihaka again on Saturday but it was a much harder track and I can still feel the muscles on my legs. (no camera this time but next time I will take it as it was lovely bush.
I joined the local Senior Net on Thursday and met a former neighbour from Awanui who moved away 19 years ago. A lot of catching up to do.
My lovely hubby has been having more falls (two yesterday) he seems to be agitated and won't sit still and forgets his walker. He is due to have his Aclasta for osteoporosis but as I have gone down with a nasty cold/sinus infection I am keeping away from the Rest Home at present.
It was very cold again this morning (a friend just told me her thermometer registered -1 C in her roof area). I have spent most of the day in bed and missed two meetings I had planned on attending. Still I had some delicious vegetable soup that I made yesterday and am starting to feel a little better.
It certainly has been cold lately. Stay in bed as long as you need to and don't feel that you need to get up. Look after yourself!
ReplyDeleteThe wall looks great, by the way.
You have been busy, keep warm and cosy. Yes, I so like the Stitchbird pattern, and hope I might get it cut out this week.It is about 21 inches square finished, and I'm sure I have colours in my batik stash. Cheers from Jean
ReplyDeleteWhat a tremendous lot of work. Very much strain on the arm it is so, however great the accomplishment. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteThe stone wall is splendid. What a lot of work to keep up with nature.
ReplyDeleteKath looks proud of all her hard work and you've done great things yourself. The evening sun on the wall looks so beautiful. Sue I hope that wretched cold clears up soon - take care xx
ReplyDeleteI am feeling a lot better but as I keep getting coughing fits am still not able to visit M.
DeleteWill the ladder fern re-grow in time? Well done in getting to the end of that task. I had no idea it could drop below zero in your part of the country. That's cold in anyone's book! Just read your rice-cake recipe and it reminds me of the sort of left-over goodies that my mother used to make. Time for me to have a go at this one. Be well soon :-)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it will regrow. I have been removing more of the roots and just hope to be able to keep it under control from now on.
DeleteFeeling a lot better - thank you
