I followed up mowing the back yard with a pressure wash of the concrete paving areas. It looks so much better now - I knew there was a bit of algae starting to be a problem, but I hadn't realised how much ground in dirt there also was. I do like this cool but sunny weather for getting things done outside, it's really pleasant being able to work outside without overheating.

that sun down at the beach was warm and the cool wind refreshing 😊

I was in huge trouble from the wrens, who chirped and wagged their tails at me very fiercely
