This is my wall very sick and chewed out but we have murdered all the white ants so far well the pest guy did and ok to rebuild the wall as there is now no sign of them.
The beer fairy bought me some jigsaws for my birthday kept me busy for a while.
and i had to move a lot of the garden away from the outside walls as the house was not getting enough ventalation so it was moist all the time white ants like dampness.
we took out all the panels that were eaten away they are wood so we will replace them with plasterboard.
one jigsaw finished
second jigsaw finished
This was the worse one
We cut the cladding away from the ground to allow more air under the house much drier there now.
most likely put plastic lattice ther to neaten it up but still allow the air in.
Here are some nice relaxing garden pictures as everything is growing well we had lots of rain not like last year when we were ringed with fires and no rain in sight and the garden was slowly dying
I awoke this morning to the smell of bushfires, thinking the house was on fire I had a good look around and couldn't find any thing am...
Loving your garden - as I always do. Can you tell me what the plant in the 21st picture down is? I have seen it at a neighbours house and lusted after it, but she is never home to ask.
ReplyDeleteBig, big sigh at the white ants. I hope you have got rid of them for good.
You are much more patient than I am on the jigsaw front.
It is thi basil wonderful smell brings lots of bees too worth growing and you can eat it, it grows from a cutting too.
DeleteMerle.................
I know it as Greek Basil, a perennial bush which grows fairly big but not huge, bees love the flowers.
DeleteSo what is the green basil you buy in the shops I always thought it was greek basil........

ReplyDeleteHaving experienced white ants, I know the annoyance - here's to that being the last of them.
So good to see your garden again, looking lush right enough. I love a good jigsaw puzzle, though admittedly, I am doing mostly online ones now... even have my own set up!
The new year has dawned very clear-skyed and bright, though freezing temps - I'd like to think that is a harbinger of better times ahead. Here's hoping! YAM xx
We have a lot of them in Sydney they say one in three houses have some activity from them .
DeleteI didn't know you could do them on line but I like the clicking together of the pieces.
Thanks for the Christmas card sorry to hear about your dad and I hope the new year is a good one we had enough sadness last year.
Merle..........
Merle, so good to see you back again. Your garden is lovely; it obviously has seen rain. I hope that keeps your wildfires at bay this year. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, as i get older it is harder to keep the garden in check.
DeleteMerle..........
So sorry to hear you had termites, but a timely reminder to all who read here to move gardens away from house walls a bit. I didn't realise you had cladding, I thought your house was real bricks. The jigsaws look like they'd give me a headache, my brother loves challenges like those.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking lush and lovely again.
Our house is weatherboard and cladded so not so good for here but brick is very cold in winter here nice in summer and when we bought the house 30 years ago it has just been done so it looked pretty good and I thought no more painting so I didn't mind.
DeleteMerle..............
How nice to see a post from you. Termites are horrible. We don't have them in this part of the country at all. Happy New Year to you and your family- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLucky not to have them we have plenty. happy new year to you and your family too.

Such a beautiful post, I want to share a testimony on how Dr itua healing herbs cure me.
ReplyDeleteThe worst time has passed”However, it is true that there are more improvements than before...because of the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the state of Nevada. How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passed
When I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake.
My mother knew nothing [about HIV]. She didn’t understand anything. Do you know why? She didn’t have [the chance] to go out of the house and communicate with society. However, my father does interact with the community. I know his friends are mature and dignified in africa america. So he has a better understanding than her.
My father came call me on a sadfull day sitting on my couch about a friend of his from africa who introduce him to Dr Itua herbal cure in africa in which he advise we should purchase his herbal medicine to cure my hiv so we did and Dr Itua prescribed I should drink the herbal medicine for two weeks to cure although we were so curious about the whole thing ,I finished the herbal medicine like he advised then he talked to me to visit my nearest clinic for check up I did and now I'm totally cured from Hiv my father was my rock and I and my family are now happy together also Dr Itua has be helpful in my community ever since he cure my Hiv and my tinnitus so why I'm leaving my story on here today is to reach out someone out here to hope on God and never give up no matter the situation you that you are facing especially through this pandemic seasons which has really taught us all on how we should be helpful to each other and cherish one another.
