Each car has two wheel and as there are six cars I made all the wheel at the same time. I had hoped to get the car blocks together by yesterday but that didn’t happen. Youngest granddaughter needed more masks, they have put restrictions on the colours she can wear, plus life in general just got away from me.
The potatoes I planted in potato sacks are looking really good, hope there are lots of potatoes growing, need to take a sneaky peek through the lift up flap! The carrots are also doing well, you can just see them at the back.
Love the flowers on the potatoes, nature certainly knows how to put colours together.
One thing that has kept us busy is the pond, the fish were not well at all and we had tried a few treatments but nothing helped. A phone call to a friend suggested it may be the water. To put this in context, my father was an aquarist and always used rainwater to top up ponds and fish tanks, he had many and won many prizes, so I have continued to do the same. What a difference 50 years makes, now the rainwater is so acid it is damaging and killing the fish. A PH test was taken and half the pond emptied and refilled with tap water and a treatment to combat the chlorine, plus an ulcer treatment to help the fish. Hopefully we have sorted the problem and they will be back to there happy little lives.
