this morning. Slow of movement so assuming close to the end of it’s life cycle. Moved it and container to kitchen window ledge and still there two hours later.

Raining still but managed to dig out much of the new garden bed yesterday, A square metre of concrete left to break-up then pine log borders (an old children’s swing set recycled), replace and add soil then replant the Lillium longiflorium and the new lemon tree.

Garden bed update: Following the downpour at 8:00 am, on clearing the drains, discovered an old broken ag pipe in the garden bed, very efficiently coping with the run-off from the shed. Probably not a good position for the lemon tree as the roots will cause a problem. Have to get the pipe sealed and possibly a new opening to relieve the instant creek which runs down the side of the house. No other rain problems but still vividly remember two years ago, water running out of the downstairs toilet light and the light refusing to turn off. A new roof fixed that problem.
