Lock-down Day 555

Not the earliest of mornings, Mewthos had to get quite insistent to get me out of bed this morning, ha ha!

I let them out and made myself coffee. It's looking overcast, I'm guessing it will rain soon ...

Phone call re work. One of our guys is working today, to meet urgent requirements for our client - who are affected by the strike next week. They will be closed from Tuesday on ...

Ah, and there's the rain! Let's just hope the power stays on, eh?

Okay, couple of minutes of rain, and now the sun is coming out. Weird weather. Actually, it's really bad weather, with temperatures changing from 35 Celsius one day, to max 20 Celsius two days later ...I just hope I don't get sick. For myself, I'm pulling on and taking off a long-sleeve top more frequently than a lunch-time stripper with 3 gigs! Frequently complicated by mippies having cuddle-attacks!

Anyway, I've hung the laundry in the laundry, washed the dishes and just swept the entire house ... only to discover that Mewthos has a few hidden spray-points! Sigh ... Washed the floors now, as well ...

And then, I started pottering about. I started pulling out weeds walking along the fence from the grill, behind the outside room and then continued to clean the ... cactus bed? Not sure what to call it, since the aloes are gone ... With the 25 mm rain we've just had, the ground is soft for quite a depth, so I was able to pull out some creepers with their entire root! Oh, and I also raked all the Jacaranda droppings off the lawn out back - can't have those clog up the mower next Friday ...

None of that was on any plan, but I'm glad I did it! The difference is very noticeable! And getting more of those roots out, just makes it worth while.

Anyway, back inside ... mippies are treated ... I've bathed ... time for brushies and cuddles!
