Sunday, January 2

Day 4 of our quarantine and the arranging and cleaning continues. I find myself liking this. It feels uncomplicated and the results become apparent more or less immediately. I think I will file this under “gratifyingly hard work”.

At 2pm the sun becomes very bright and I wander out into the garden where we have a lot of fruit and vegetable bushes. I photograph a tap on the inside of the front wall in the suddenly harsh light.

As far as I can tell we will have bananas, cherries, chillies, coconuts, mangoes, papayas, and peppercorns. The chillies need a few days to ripen. The bananas should arrive before we leave. The rest will come later.
