Raking it in ...

No early morning walk on the beach today as it was raining. Instead, a lovely start to the day with another meeting of our musical trio, now called The Learning Tree. It is such fun to play and sing together. Laurie and I are learning a lot and Maestro Tiziano is developing a saint's patience. 
Next, the garden. It's incredible how quickly plants grow, and die, here. Without a helping hand the garden would be a jungle in no time. So I raked and collected piles and piles of dead leaves. Such a satisfying feeling to do some physical work in the open air, and for a good cause. The garden looks beautiful again!
Then shopping, a short walk on the beach and some work. Ah yes, I work on two journals, but more about that another time.
