Sunday.. beautiful day clear sky and very still.
Not going anywhere today [except to feed my 4 legged friend]
But if I were a tourist in Hobart I would take the opportunity to drive up to the top of Mount Wellington. Here they will find a look out explaining how the road up to the peak was built. Also the regular signposts pointing out different locations.
The view is fantastic [all the way to the south pole :)] It is good for people to go up The Mountain because it shows them the lie of the land south. It gives them a feeling of the terrain the first settlers had to overcome.
Once down from the mountain a coffee might be in order [ the mountain has its own climate and this time of the year the temp on the top will no doubt be 'challenging' for visitors] So as we need a we need warming why not go to Battery Point where a coffee and pastry can be enjoyed while admiring the surrounding buildings and watch the world pass by as tourists stroll the streets cameras at the ready.
I will be spending part of my day working in my front garden where I am removing garden beds by covering them with weed mat and paving slabs. I want to leave the garden so that when I sell the place new people can just uncover the gardens. For me it is becoming too hard to look after, both physically and time wise. I have dug up lots of bulbs which were transplanted to pots so I now have daffodils poking through. I will only be able to get half way this season as I dont want to disturb the bulbs once they are springing into life.
Now afternoon, have finished my gardening for the day, there is a black cloud towards the mountain and I needed to get the washing in. So that's it for the day :) Decided to photograph my 'work' place. I will update this as I progress AND when all the bulbs are in bloom.
If you went to the Henry Jones Hotel yesterday you would have found some shops and a bar. A nice relaxing way to spend the afternoon
5.30PM Well the black cloud [for my location] was a trick. Nothing happened, never mind I needed to go and feed my 4 legged friend. My drive took me along the bank of the Derwent River. It was a truly lovely afternoon, very mild. I saw people by the river having a picnic, children playing in the park and people just walking and enjoying the weather.
Temp 7- 16c
