It's a beautiful day and we have nothing planned. We started out by sitting outside the front of the house with our coffee but the sun moved over so we retreated to the back where we have a table and chairs set up on a square of concrete. We spend a lot of time there in the summer. Jamie came around yesterday to talk about putting up some shade to make it a more useful space. We first thought of a pergola but we would have to have council permission and that's a bit of a pain so it will have to be a shadecloth sail mounted in some way.
I already have a sail which I used to put up at Dilston but, at 5m x 5m, it's a bit too big so a trip to Bunnings is in order. Jamie has a handy mate who is always looking for little jobs to give him a bit of an income. He's a full-time carer for his wife so can't go to regular work. He's done a few jobs for Jamie over the years and has worked on both our cars so we know how cluey he is.
Marilyn's sister arrives tomorrow for another visit and it's a shame we won't have the shade up before that.
