more rain is coming

You know how some people say that listening to classical music while you're working/studying is supposed to be good and should help you in concentrating? Well, it doesn't work. It builds up a rhythm in my head and I am forced to follow the music and guess what's coming next. Unlike my Tarzan soundtrack where I know what's coming next so I don't have to think about it and I can use my conscious mind to work. Anyway, I have to listen to music at work because people in my room (actually it's just one very annoying guy) are too noisy.


Here's a sneak peek at our rear patio




I'm actually standing on the neighbour's land and he's thinking of putting a fence up between the two plots. Well spotted if you're wondering whether the paving slabs are wet. It has been raining a lot and looks like more is set to come. I hope we don't get flooded. So the neighbour Nick's rose bush is right in the middle of the picture but if you look to the right of it, we have a small soil patch where I've put some seeds in a few weeks ago. And you can just about see that they're starting to grow! Wahey!

And why are sewing machines so expensive?
