Lock-down Day 575

Another bad night, I'm afraid, though I can't tell why. I just kept waking up ... which led to considerable trouble getting up when it was time!

It started raining sometime during the night, and it's still raining - nice! Though it means that I won't be able to mow today.

I see in the news, that the strike is finally over! I should be getting replies to mails again, and I should get the material to finish the only job we still have ... and hopefully, we'll now also get some orders! I've had some requests from our client - but, of course, with the strike, nothing definite.

Okay ... I just lost a tooth! It just came out - no pain, no crack ... I was just eating a piece of chocolate, when I felt something hard in the chocolate. Well, I guess I'm on my way to gap-toothed granny-hood, ha ha! Fortunately this tooth is at the back, so it's not visible. Getting there, though ...

Oh, nice! One strike ends and another one starts! Municipal workers have now 'downed tools' ... Sigh ... 

Well, almost time to go home ... to my mippies and my garden ...

Trouble with internet at home, as - now - usual. It's almost nine, and I could finally log into my blog! It's not saving, though, so I guess I'll have to publish tomorrow morning.

I mowed the lawn. It had not rained all day, and this morning was only 2,5 mm ... I mowed everywhere, all partitions - except the one under the peach tree. Big job! And it'll get worse when the grass really starts growing - today, I only had to empty the grass holder three times. At least it was somewhat overcast and windy - not blazing sun.

I'll have to rake the partition outside my bedroom this weekend, I can't properly mow there, yet. Too many branches, thorns and crap covering the ground. If the grass really starts growing there, I won't be able to mow. I'll also have to see what I want to do about those bricks they put down there ... they are just an obstacle. Can't mow, can't clear ... just messy.

When I finished mowing, I carried on working around my spinach and carrot patch. I finally got all the way around - back to the beginning. Which is where I need to continue ... it's already turning green again! I had thought that I'd have that entire patch cleared and growing plants by now - yet, one year down the line and I STILL can't even keep any part of it clear! The weeds are much worse than I thought ...

Anyway, back inside ... I'm too lazy to cook, so I just had some viennas. Shared, with mippies. Now, I just want to relax ...
