It has now rained nearly everyday since Christmas. We have become near experts on pumps and dealing with floods. Today the sun is shining in a watery way and the wind is howling through the palm trees. I am trying to get motivated to do some painting but just can't get going and find myself watching tutorials on www.lynda.com, it seems more appealing to watch somebody else doing it for some reason.
Sparticus seems to have recovered from his blocked bladder, Dylan badly needs a wash and a trim and Alistair is growing a goatee beard. I have been feeling under the weather and decided to give myself a liver cleanse at the weekend which left me feeling even worse than I had. I think the release of toxins into the body caused the problems and I am just feeling a little better today after drinking lots of water and lemon and sticking to a liver cleansing diet.
Here are a couple of pictures of the view at present and Alistair on his regular check of the pumps.
Roll on Spring, I badly need to get some sun on my body mind and soul and feel that Vit D flowing. The Almond trees blossomed and looked beautiful but were soon washed and blown from the branch. I am ready to plant my vegetable seeds but need it to stop raining before we can do much. The brocolli is still producing well and the acacia and hardenbergia are in full bloom. I will take a pic of the acacia as it is amazing how big it has grown in two years. As I am feeling a little low I shall keep this shorter than the norm and hope that things pass (as they always do) I am trying to keep on smiling but it seems to be through gritted teeth at present.
