I woke up around three in the morning with a splitting headache! It felt like a nail coming through the top of my head, aiming for my left eye ... which was streaming water! I got up for a bit, then back to bed ... woke up again half past five with the same headache, so I called in sick.
I forced myself out of bed, made myself a panlet, so I could take my migraine cocktail - though this wasn't a migraine. Still, all I could do ... went back to bed an hoped ...
I woke up around eleven feeling much better. Mippies were growling - neighbour's cat was on my veranda, about to come and explore my bedroom! Chased her off, but with the new neighbours - who have dogs - she ran out back, followed by Mini! So, I got up, went out back and the poor thing did indeed 'escape' next door, where the dogs got hold of her ... but the neighbour was home, called the dogs off and the cat escaped.
Neighbour is also the landlords electrician - he was telling me about the solar panels that are planned for installation, though he fears they won't work. They might keep the lights on, but not much more ...
We've had some 20mm rainfall during the night, and as I was feeling better, I decided to do some gardening. I took advantage of the rain and pull weeds out of the lawn ... my word, just WTF? The 'lawn' now looks positively pock-marked! For the past five months, all the tenant did was run the mower over everything ... nurturing each and every weed, to the point where the roots are now very strong, the stems all thick ... and 'mowing' has become a clonk-clonk muscle-power work out!
I managed to get three bins full - all with their roots. Then it started raining again ... the section in front of my bedroom was just as bad! All he's done is spread the seeds and nurture the weeds! I'm back at square one ... all my work, clearing the weeds to make mowing easy ...
Anyway. I brought mippies in around four or five, when it rained so hard, again. Mewthos was mewling for treats, anyway. Watched one or two interviews, then went to bed ...
