Turning over to catch another 40 winks was not the best idea on a Monday! Ah, well ... still got up and going in time!
It's raining again, or maybe still ... and I'm having trouble with the gate. The power is on, but the gate won't open. I have to get out, set it to manual - on a whim, I try the remote after I've opened it and set it back to auto: It works! Okay, so leave it open, drive through and auto-close the gate. It closes at snail pace! Definitely something wrong! If that isn't seen to, I won't be able to get in tonight!
At work, it's kind of lonely - nobody here! At is here, though ... poor sod! He had the rain INSIDE again! He spent most of the weekend mopping his floors! Compared to that, my Mewthos-rescue seems like not even a nuisance!
Work PC won't work. Sigh! No clue why ... It's after ten before someone gets a chance to look at it. No clue what the problem was, but it's all better now! Fortunately I had printed all the delivery notes on Friday already.
Busy at work, so the day passed quickly.
Back at home, the remote doesn't open the gate. So I get out, and ... yes: it's set on manual! At least I can go inside! I saw a missed call from the manager - and he said he'd make a plan to come look for himself tomorrow, to determine what's causing the problem. From my side, I decided to clear the area around the gate - no need to make working there any more difficult than it needs to be!
I had made some elaborate culinary plans for this week ... guess what I did? Yeah ... I stayed in the garden until it was too dark to see! Ha Ha! So much for dinner, eh? Well, I did clear space around the big center ponytail, and planted that large bushy succulent. And about time, too! Poor thing is half dry and the pot they chose ... well, biggest plant, what do you think? Right! Smallest pot! It's still alive, so hopefully it will recover and grow again. Then I cleared some more space, and where I dug out the bulb of one of those creepers, I planted the white geranium! That, too, looks half dead! Only a few green leaves! When I was done, I watered both plants thoroughly. I hope they will recover and grow!
Mewthos took advantage of my working bent over near the wall, when I was clearing the weeds around the gate! Jumped onto my back, and used me as a launchpad to reach to top of the wall! Yeah, as if I would leave him there! Poor sod can't jump down from that height without hurting his left paw, so ... yeah, I picked him off the fence like a ripe fruit! He didn't object! For some reason, cats are good at planning to reach a specific goal - but they don't seem to think beyond that!
Inside, I wanted to shower ... but I had forgotten to turn on the geyser! So, I'm typing this while I wait ...
Okay, I've showered and had the second half of my chicken for dinner - shared with Ziva and Janey! Now I'm ready for bed ...
