Friday

No spraying this morning, I'm happy to say!

Call from At telling me I don't need to pick him up today - huge relief!

Apparently load shedding from 17:00 - 22:00 will continue throughout the weekend. Not a problem - we're only affected today, and only from 17:00 - 18:00.

I was contemplating pruning the peach tree this afternoon - but I just read that it's best to do that at the end of winter, not now, at the start of winter. Makes sense.

I don't know what gardening project I'll tackle this afternoon - maybe clear around the gooseberry bushes? I'll see what I feel like doing, when I get home.

And what do you think I did, once I got home? Yup! Neither! Instead, I played with my compost heap! I cleared along the fence next to it, and started moving the compost. There's actually a lot of really nice compost already - though more mulch than compost. At least, I think that's what it is. It's not completely decomposed, yet - but I think it'll make an awesome top layer during winter! I think that will be my Friday project from now on ... 

Today, I just carried some to the bean bed, where the thyme is still doing well. I just used a soil bag. I think in future, I should use my wheelbarrow, though.

Looks like we'll have to get through this weekend without load shedding ... I scarcely remember how! Any suggestions?

I meant to take a nice hot bath - but didn't wait long enough. It was a luke warm bath. Still, warm being the operative word here! Not I'm just going to snuggle under the duvet ... wait for mippies to show up ... cuddle ... sleep.
