Lock-down Day 207

No hair pulling, no mewling, no demands that I get out of bed - they let me sleep in! Well, until half six, of course, as it's a work day. Once I got up, though, the mewling for a treat started, ha ha!

I've just done a bit of shopping ... sigh ... spending more, much more than planned! Well, the lawn mower isn't a low-price item. Then, I need a step ladder, at least 3 steps so I can reach light bulbs and such. And then I got stuck in the gardening section ... motion-detector solar-powered lights, a sprinkler, potato planter, strawberry planter, pretty toys! No seeds, though! Ha Ha ha! I've still got plenty of seeds packed away - first I use those (though they're a year old by now, so may not grow) and I'll only get more seeds when I've used those!

I stumbled across a really funny post on Facebook - albeit in German; so I translated it & added my own little pun

To all Toilet Paper Hoarders

If you're short a few sheets of a full roll:
Looking to swap sheets 42, 95, 157 & 295 for sheets 22, 50, 115 & 262!

Seeing as people are apparently bulk-buying toilet paper again :D

Well, at work I've been handed another challenge.

At home, mippies are happy to see me! First thing, I placed the order for the lawn mower, etc. Then I rolled some more cigarettes - but I really didn't have the energy to cut another leaf! I think I will have to buy cigarettes this week again. Sigh. I've also realised another issue: I have nothing to drink at home! Without my daily liter of milk, and since I've been using up all stocks in the time leading up to the move, and haven't re-stocked. I've had a look online - so much more has become available online, due to the lock-down ... but the fruit & veg available for delivery in Pretoria is somewhat ... limited. I'll have to look properly tomorrow. But I will have to make a plan to get something to drink in the evenings until the weekend. Like, go to Spar tomorrow.

Well, like I said, I'm too tired to do much tonight. I haven't even made myself dinner - I'm not really hungry, either. Now I had better give mippies some more attention, then go to sleep ...
