Dreadfully tired after a late night of doom scrolling, but the day is glorious and there's work to do outside, so it'll probably balance out. Good afternoon friends!
Hey everyone, I got my soccer field and yard to mow today. Got probably 6 hours of mowing to accomplish with my crappy husqvarna. Has a 54" deck though and cruise control at least. Really needs an oil change too. It's almost 6am here, so I'm thinking of starting extremely early. After I get done I'm going to 0ull some more wooden logs out of the ground of my property. Last owners had horses, we don't want any, so all the fences are coming down.
Haven't figured out what to put in the empty holes left by the wooden logs yet...if I should put a bunch of top soil or maybe gravel first or sand then top soil. Any experts here about landscaping?
Already been to do my weekly shop because I can't stand Aldi at peak times. Now I'm sitting waiting for an Amazon parcel (don't usually shop at Amazon if I can help it but it was the only place that had the item I needed) and no indication of what time it'll arrive yet. Hoping it's soon!
Also I risked hanging the washing out on the line despite thunderstorms being predicted.
Just dragged myself out of bed at half nine, got the house to myself for probably only about half an hour but what a gloriously silent half hour it will be!
Then I don't think we really have any major plans today. Need to get to the shop for some embroidery floss, and also it's International Knit In Public Day today but honestly there's no meetups near us and I'm not sure I want to just go sit randomly in a park somewhere and get sunburned.
So tldr gonna veg here on the couch with the blinds drawn all day and hide from the sun, it's gonna be mint.
We've recently moved. The house is basically in order - give or take a couple of stacks of boxes in the corner - and the shed is kinda there too, so this weekend is 'doing things in the garden' with hedge trimming the first on the list, along with scanning Gumtree for a suitable mower. I am not going to be borrowing our new neighbour's one for a third time however friendly and happy about it he is.
I woke up to a load of noise downstairs, went to investigate assuming it was my cat… who I couldn’t see. No problem, I thought.
Stood in the kitchen making a cuppa and I hear a very sorry meow, so obviously assumed my poor boy was hurt!
No. Completely wrong. Some random cat is sat on the windowsill in my living room. Dead lovely little thing that enjoyed a bit of fuss before I let it back out into the world!
Moved out of York earlier this year and will be heading back for a proper visit for the the first time since the move today. Going to be strange driving past the place I lived for years but on the plus side, it's one of the few places in the UK with a taco bell!
Maybe the UK ones are better. US food standards are woeful so that probably didn't help my (single) experience of them. Will probably try it if they ever come near us.
I don't have anything planned today so I will probably just play some HOI4 and relax, definitely not going outside in these temperatures if I can avoid it though.
Toddler up at 520 so we're downstairs watching the Red Bull Soapbox race on TV.
Meant to be paddleboarding tomorrow but the glorious sunshine of the last ten days has been replaced with a thunderstorm forecast, so that might get knocked on the head.
