My veggies was coming along fine, and I think that at last I had stopped the tunneling of the moles with the shading nets I had laid, The peacocks were now quite scared of me and my catapult, as I have become quite proficient in shooting it, and it was actually so funny when they come through the brush, necks stretched to the limit, trying to see if I was around, and when they do see me, go into an immediate state of panic, and in their haste to get into the air and over the fence before I got them with a stone from my catapult, they sometimes misjudge the height of the fence, and abandon that way of escape because they were either winded or ended up with a headache from bumping into a pole head first! To see them spread their wings and leg it to the front fence that was lower, gave me great satisfaction!
The goats also came to know my weapon, and when they trespassed into my place, and they saw me coming at them with my catapult, they couldn't leave their lunch or dinner, my trees of course, fast enough and jump back over the fence and to safety! So slowly but surely I was getting on top of all my plants's enemies, although Jan's Kuk-kuks were still a menace, and the snails took their chances whenever they find a ripe and uncovered strawberry, their preferred food.
The window in my sittingroom was at last fixed completely, and I now had to put up a curtain of some sort, but it was quite a headache, as I was unable to drill into the stone wall.
I then decided that the only way was to make a roll-up blind and hang it onto the wooden window frame. But as I am so far from the nearest town with a material shop, and I had a lot of linen that I use for making canvasses, I decided that there was nothing to do but make a blind from that. I didn't like the stark white, so I cut out some flower patterns on a potato, and did some serious potato printing.In the end I was quite chuffed with my creation.
It is easy to make this kind of blind, but it is not for windows that are too big, although as I never made one for a big window, I don't know, it might work. You need your curtain mateial, plus a backing material, cut to
The size of the inside of your window, with enough centimeters on both top and bottom for two seams to take a medium rod, and a centimeter or so for the side seams  cut on. This is then stitched together on the sides. A small seam, about two centimeters wide is then stitched in, top and bottom, big enough for two medium wooden rods used for venetian blinds. I then stitched two  bands of about a centimeter wide, and about forty centimeters long and fastened that to the top of the blind, so that the half hangs down in front, and the other half in the back. I then screwed in small hooks both into the top rod, through the material, and into the window frame at the top, and hung the blind like that. So if you want the blind up, you just roll it up and tie the bands, making two bows, or just letting it hang. Worked wonderfully!
