Was thinking about hitting the beach but experience tells me that wind will ruin your day.
It reminds of the time I went to Kalbarri in WA few years back (lovely place can recommend) went to the beach and wind was huuuge. Sand was hitting my shins with extraordinary vigour and it left a mark on them for a few years. Completely destroyed my shin modelling career.
Sandblasting is no joke.
edit: and look who decided to look after the chillo patch:
Anytime I see them there is a squeal of delight. These things whilst pretty are apex monsters of the bug world. If I were an aphid I wouldn't be buying a long playing record.
<3 I do the same whenever I see these friends chilling out with my plants too. Chillos have been aphid free this summer, entirely thanks to my homies I think
So happy to see them here.
I know people buy them and chuck 'em on but to see them there at their own volition sparks immense joy.
A bit like the joy of having a cat become your friend. We have been chosen! We provide safe refuge and food.
