Lock-down Day 570

At least I had a good night. And a reasonably early start.

I've done the basic chores, ordered my fruit juice, tried to order chocolate - which is all sold out! I've also had plenty of brushies and cuddle sessions, as well as Mini bringing a baby snake into my bedroom! I put up a performance, which I hope will let her know that snakes are not acceptable.

The visit from my friend was a bit of a let down. Firstly, it wasn't exactly a visit - it was a sales demo ... and then, as they were nearby, I put the coffee on ... it had barely started, when the power went off! Again! This is getting ridiculous!

Anyway, it was really nice seeing my friend again! We took a walk around my garden - she's also growing roses! With more success, though, ha ha!

After they left, it was time to start the bread dough. While that was going, I carried on re-weeding the tomato bed. I got as far as the basil. Mixed in some fertiliser and such, then sowed more maize and tomatoes. And at the end I planted the three peppers I still had growing in one of the pots.

Now I'm watering ... 

Mini brought in a tiny little field mouse - all mips crowded around for a chance at the poor thing ... after the snake this morning, I didn't have the heart to take the mouse away, as well. I can't stop them from following their nature, but I can direct it towards a mutually acceptable prey.

Oh, nice! It looks like the mouse ended on my bed - there's blood on the sheets!

Anyway, I'm done for the day. I didn't wash the dishes, though ...
