Friday

I woke up just in time to hear the power go off ... pfffft! No coffee at home, for me. I didn't feel up to hauling the gas bottle around.

Early start. Traffic. Some nincompoop scraped my car! Trying to push in where there wasn't space ... 

At work, first: coffee! I still have a few instant cups here, just need hot water.

On the way home, I got braai packs, cheese sausage and patties.

Back at home, I wanted to water in front of the carport, so that I can clean up the tomato bed this weekend ... only ... load shedding. So I started by harvesting poppy seed pods ... then got a bit carried away and cleaned up the whole bed good and proper! It looks a little spares now, but not for long, I'll wager.

Then I carried on clearing my view to the Iris.

Poor Smeagol, his face is covered in ticks! He won't let me pull them off ... so I dosed him with spot-on, while he was gobbling up the Whiskas.

Load shedding again at ten tonight. Then again at four tomorrow morning ... again at noon tomorrow ... pffft ... nuisance!

Ah well ... good night ...
