HenryI sense a disturbance in the usual bin collection schedule. This means holidays are soon upon us.
After two hours of trying to flatten and rake out the molehills, our lawn has so many black patches that it looks like it lost a bar fight. It's probably a bit flatter, and there was intermittent help from the children, but I'm knackered.
I don't really care about the lawn being perfectly flat. It just needs to be flat and smooth enough that our robomower can cut the grass, and the children can play on it.
Did I put on a clean light grey hoodie this morning? Yes
Am I now using a stick blender to smoothen out a tomatoey curry? Also yes.

I just looked under the sofa. I should not have done that.
Tired: staying up late and ordering take away.
Wired: staying up late to meet your delayed grocery delivery.
I picked up my empty coffee cup in the living room to drop off in the kitchen on the way upstairs. Upstairs I'm still holding the coffee cup, so I put it down to do the stuff I came upstairs to do. Once I'm back downstairs I go to the kitchen. But I'm not holding the coffee cup.
At least this is good for my thigh muscles.
This evening's #repair job: plug timer. The little arm that pushes in the relay (red block) when the timer wheel passes with the detents push down for on, had a crack where the yellow arrow is pointing. This meant it flexed instead of pushing in the relay switch. I've added super glue, and put the arm back on its pivot (where the green arrow is pointing). See how long that lasts.
It would be sad to throw out the whole thing for the failure of a tiny part that probably costs less than a 5 cents to manufacture.
Writing #Christmas cards this morning, and not quietly ranking my friends and family to decide who gets the nicer card designs.
At what point do spiders and dust bunnies get squatters rights? Asking for a friend.
Ghostrunner#nightphotography of some #flamingos by the #pool that I thought looked #peaceful and might make your day a little happier.
