It is very cold. Getting out of my warm bed was quite a mission, Mini licked and pawed, Mewthos mewled, mommy snored! Ha ha! Kidding. I didn't snore as I wasn't asleep - just huddling under the duvets. I don't know whether I snore - how would I?
Well I did get out of bed, eventually, gave mippies their breakfast, then started my coffee.
Filter coffee used to be a luxury, costing quite a bit more than instant. Now it's the other way around. You can buy 1 kg ground beans for almost half the price you'd pay for 1 kg Instant. Okay, there are cheaper instant brands - which I've tried and didn't enjoy.
Back at home ...
I assembled the ladder, set it up by the peach tree and went to work. Hard work, lopping off branches over my head. I only just managed to finish before it started to get dark. Poor tree looks quite naked, now! I hope I didn't go overboard! I did cut quite a lot!
I was going to call it a day, but then I started weeding in the cracks out back, working from the house to the grill and then realised that I have a horde of seeds just waiting for me to collect them! Right there, next to the grill ... where I had a few Marigold growing, and tried to grow more, but then the Zinnia came up in full glory! Big and tall and colourful! I'm sorry that I didn't take any photos ... they've now dried out, and need to be taken out. And they are covered in seeds for next year, of course!
And so is Janey, I'm afraid! She keeps jumping on my lap, and I keep picking seeds out of her fur!
This weekend, I'll be reaping the rewards of spending most of Thursday doing chores - tomorrow I ONLY have to do the laundry. No kitchen cleaning, nothing else ... and on Sunday I only need to bake bread rolls. Everything else was done on Thursday!
I'm thinking of carting around compost ... I'll see what I feel like tomorrow!
