The window sill needed touch up filling so I did that first thing, before tackling the front veranda wall again. I drove to a specialist paint store for further advice about improving the texture finish and was sold a special roller to apply the render finish. The container said not to apply the product in the sun, but I am working on a north facing wall, which is in the sun for much of the day. I needed to get this job done before we get more rain.
The roll-on render has not completely covered the uneven surface, but it has improved the finish so by late afternoon I had applied the first coat of paint. Hopefully I will be able to do the second coat tomorrow morning if there is no rain.
It was 5pm when I took Bluey to the park, so he was allowed off his lead. There was no other dog suitable for him to run and play with, but he kept looking out just in case.


Tilly had been locked away in the bedroom to prevent her from jumping over the veranda wall. She was very demanding when let out.

While we were away this succulent produced a tall flower causing it to be leaning over. Other flowers are growing around the base of the plant.
