The Weekend

Toon Update
Friday, after the rains eased off I ventured for a drive to see if there was life at Toon Army Bar.
There was. I am horrible remembering names, a younger chap with his companion was there.
We had a nice chat.
Had missed Cowboy Jim, who, as I was told, had been there earlier.

Opening hours had been somewhat haphazardly as of lately,
but I was promised, that regular opening hours would be restored.

I had hoped to stay for more than one beer,
but I got quite lightheaded and called some friends to drive me home.
Guess I'm not quite up to venturing out too far from home on my own yet.

Gardening
Saturday, with the help of my daily entourage, I cut down the two Banaba trees.
Also known as Crape-myrtle or Queen's Crape-myrtle, the trees provided plenty of shade.
Over the years they have been a constant attractant to red ants.
Ant control had become Mission Impossible.

Replaced the trees with seven Papaya trees.
Papaya require less maintenance and produce an abundance of fruit, which my neighbors gladly take off my hands.



Meanwhile work on the website continues as a daily effort.
