He's probably too busy writing his next several thousand words...

Here's the before and after views of the work I did clearing the ivy from the rear wall of my garden yesterday and today...

I am going to leave clearing the last bit of ivy (to the left of the ladder) until the autumn or the winter. I think there's a pair of robins nesting in the hedge close to that corner, and I wouldn't like to disturb it. 

I have to admit I liked the wall with ivy better than the naked wall, though that looks OK too. Why did you remove everything rather than just the heavy overgrowth at the top of the wall ?

I like that suggestion! 

Of course he'd have to wipe me down as well.

Not sure which of the two would excite me most...

Before I started I considered doing just that. It was the fact that some of the main stems of the ivy were so thick that they were beginning to loosen the stones of the wall that made me decide to remove the bulk of it. Once I've repointed the loosest of the stones, I will maybe let the ivy grow back and just keep it trimmed in the future. Or I may grow some more colourful climbers on the wall (or do both?).

Good morning, all!

Another beautiful morning here in the west of Ireland. Blue skies, and a promise that the temperature may be a degree or two (Celcius) higher than yesterday.

I may have to think about putting sunscreen on. Especially considering there's still a cooling breeze, so my skin might not realise just how much sun it is getting... 

Far too nice a day to spend too long inside, so...

Good morning, Albert!

Please wish Steve the happiest of happy birthdays from me.

Aloha All!
