Adonis came by earlier with some teak oil for the deck. He bought two tins and a roller so that I could apply it quickly. I started off thinking I would try it on just a couple of boards but ended up doing the first ten, until the tin was empty. The timber certainly looks different, and the product is touch-dry so far however there are areas where there has been some interesting interactions with resin from the wood. I might decide to leave it for a couple of days to see how it comes out and perhaps try a different product on the remainder of the wood if I don’t like the way it turns out.
Chatting this morning with an English couple and a young female, I take to be their daughter, who came to Crete way back in 1973, when we were in Tolo. She, however, is a little older than me and had attended art college so was travelling with a couple of female friends. I think their daughter was rather surprised by the revelation that her mother had such a wild youth. After all, none of us have done anything like as exciting as the youth of today.
