Lock-down Day 486

I don't know why I used to enjoy sleeping late - in my younger days - because now, when I do, it just leads to weird, usually unpleasant, dreams.

I got up about half eight. Let mippies out, made myself coffee.

Cleaned the kitchen, got the bread going ... now I'm wondering if I can be trusted to enter the garden? I mean, you know what happens once I go out ... I don't come back in until it's too cold! Can't really do that today, can I?

Okay, I've cleaned the carrot side of my tunnel bed, now I'm just waiting for the bread dough to finish, so I can roll my bread rolls for baking. Then I'll move on to the spinach side of my tunnel bed.

I'm quite proud of myself! I got time to enjoy my garden and did quite a lot - yet here I am, back inside, baking bread rolls and muffins, ready to clean the kitchen again - all in time! It's half five, now!

What helped was simply that I COULDN'T do much work in the garden, ha ha ha! The ground is really too dry to weed anywhere. I have to water before I can work anywhere. Since I water my tunnel bed regularly, I can work there anytime. Same with the Marigold bed. But that's about it.

I moved the hosepipe to the front, then started watering the rose beds. With the mist sprinkler. One by one. Only, of course, having just watered, the soil isn't moist but soaking wet! Not very nice to work in. I suppose I could have brought out the big fork and loosened the whole bed ... ah, well.

I did manage to clear the walkway between the house and my neighbour's wall, though. So: I got lots done! And I have to say: having spent so much time in the garden, again, I feel a lot better than I have in weeks!

Oh, golly! I nearly forgot my spaghetti Bolognese! Just making it, now.

Oh, yummy! That turned out delicious!

Only problem now, of course: I still need to wash the dishes ...

Done! Dishes are clean, and so am I. Ziva was going nuts earlier, when I finished the dishes I scratched her ears for a while, that seemed to calm her down. Now it's Mini's turn - she's going nuts, so I better give her some attention ...
