Alien glow?

After work I went to see if any animals had left any footprints in our new concrete slab. No track marks observed, which is good. Today's picture is the living room wall from the other side, where the new slab is. The green tone isn't a filter, it's a giant green tarp that sits on top of the extension to keep the worst of the weather out while they work on it. When you are there in person, your brain removes most of the green as everything has a green cast, but my camera isn't smart enough to do that, so you what you get is this erie green tinge. I could have actually fixed the image, but then it wouldn't be so green!

It's just a 100 year old stone wall, pretty simple and rustic, and by fluke it happens to be green... The actual stone is a more typical Breton cream colour, and the old lime is a similar light cream. I'd love to have some of this wall exposed, but proper pointing is expensive and it's one hell of a dust trap, so I think it will get covered in plasterboard later on...!

The extra is some of the ox-eye daisies in the the garden, probably prettier but not quite abstract! The aphids are eating my apple trees alive, the banana peel hasn't had any effect, and can feel a soapy spray coming next. We used to have lots of rhubarb, and the leaves can be used to make a good insecticide, but since the garden wall collapsed on our rhubarb plant last year we're rather sans-rhubarb at the moment....
