Lock-down Day 246, Part 2

I got home and the gate was on manual. Sigh. Well, not a major issue, since by switching it to automatic, I’m effectively locking it, so I’m safe while I’m at home.

I saw a missed call from the guard, when I called back he asked whether my gate is now working. I told him, ‘Nope’ and he said he’d get the electrician to come out. Well, I’ll keep my phone on me and an eye on the gate … but it’s no problem if they only start working on it on Monday again.

I did some basic chores, like placing the last Avocado plant into a larger bottle, and such odds and ends. Then I tackled the strawberries and was disgusted to see they had already started to grow mold! Yuk! Well, I worked through the lot and saved what could be saved. I guess it happened because they sweat in their plastic container, even though it isn’t sealed. In future, I had better take them out of their plastic container when I get home! The blueberries also took some damage – I saved what I could.

Then I spent a bit of time in the garden. I started tacking the corner outside the washroom … but eventually gave up! It’s just too much! The grass is of the kind that can’t be mowed when it’s this long – I ended up cutting it, with garden scissors! So I went around and pulled out a couple of large weeds, just to make myself feel better and gave up.

I cleaned the refuse bin, then looked in the fridge again. Those spring onions are no good – only thing to do is put them in water and grow more. At least they have roots, so … let’s see what happens. I’ve put them in water.

I also set up another fly trap. Those flies are really going on my nerves!

Showered and went to bed … watching a few episodes of Dr Who. The power went out, and on again. Out, then on again. Then out for a minute, on again … fortunately it stayed on after that.
