I have a long list of non-urgent projects, some of which have been on the list for literally years. For the first time ever I feel there’s a real chance that things on the list will actually start getting done. A semi-quarantined vacation suits me just fine.

One of those projects is to repaint the garden bench/sofa. It came with the house and the paint was damaged in places already when we moved here in 2008. Finally, finally, I’m doing something about it.

First step: sanding away the old, flaking paint.

I also cleaned the “lawn” behind the house of fallen cherries. The winds we felt in Gotland have blown down a lot of berries and twigs from the cherry tree. We always lose some before the harvest, but never quite this much in one go.
