It rained most of yesterday afternoon - no gardening. I decided to tackle the dishes, instead. Then I picked the meat off the chicken, minced it. Fried the chicken hearts, minced them, mixed them with the chicken - which I've just packed into two 1kg tubs and put in the freezer.
I gave my electric frying pan to my tenant's wife. She seemed ecstatic! Well, it IS really useful! Especially if you only have a kitchenette - a corner of your room set aside for cooking.
So, I basically finished most of my Saturday 'musts' already!
My right knee kept buckling all day yesterday. First the painful left ankle, which, I think, in trying to favour the right leg, caused the buckling knee. It's the knee I injured over thirty years ago. I decided not to risk standing in the shower, nor trying to get in and out of the bath with that knee last night.
This morning, my tenant tells me a water pipe burst in the pump house ... landlord is dragging his feet, so my tenant decided to fix it. There is already a replacement, and he has the qualifications. Let's hope he is successful! Sooner, rather than later, too.
Seems he's succeeded! Yay! I'm kinda lucky to have him staying here.
Well, internet is dodgy ... again! This is frustrating. Again. No wonder people's tempers are running out ...
I've hung up the washing - taking a chance, hanging it outside. We've had 5mm rainfall overnight, and another 5mm this morning.
I took a break earlier, when it started to drizzle ... break ended, rescue washing from the line! Then I started gardening. Well, first the fridging part - after two months, I finally processed the Kiwi I had bought before our shutdown! Surprisingly, they were still good! I put some seeds in germination soil, and ate the Kiwi. I didn't harvest ALL the seeds - there are just too many!
Then I did the same with the lemons, they were going off already. Turning brown. Still got quite a good harvest of seeds. I re-potted the Delicious Monsters - into the big, white cement pot. Re-potted one of the Frangipani into the pot where the Delicious Monsters used to live. Re-assuring the toads every time I disturb them to get at the potting soil, ha ha!
Cleaned the lavender pot. Again. There's a persistent weed I just can't get rid of, it keeps coming up.
I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning the tomato bed. Main focus on weeding, making space for Brussels Sprouts and other winter veggies I want to plant. I've trimmed and pulled ut quite a lot of the tomato plants ...
All in all, I've had a good Saturday!
