w19: sunday review
summer arrived with pollen on both her fists.
things i intended to do and did:
- got the nails out of those reclaimed boards & stacked them safely in the shed (0 nail injuries & only 1 splinter);
- cleared the greenhouse, being watched (-_-) by neighbour cat, wired up a green string net, filled the big troughs with a mix of reclaimed & shop compost and planted out the cucumber seedlings;
- started runner beans germinating;
- weeded & mulched the south border where the honeysuckle & hydrangea barely fought through the neglect;
- espaliered a volunteer buddleia (honestly it's growing in a great location i just wanted to keep airflow below it);
- continued using a mains-powered garden shredder with great delight, turning excess hedge into mulch;
- occasionally wafted the hairbrush near Ophelia because we must get her used to being brushed by the time her coat has grown back;
- uploaded a low effort attempt at the third assignment, with a disclaimer that it has clashed with a bad mood and that she should feel free to reduce the effort she gives to the feedback accordingly. do they hate that? guess we'll find out.
- have possibly found how to reduce my reddit time??? not recommending the product yet, waiting another week.
things i intended to do and did not:
- long form reading frankly, Capital and Ideology is about to expire and return itself to the library for the second time and it's not its fault;
- more photos with the good camera;
- cleaning the conservatory;
- using the little incinerator (I'm scared of fire and there's dry clippings everywhere).
intent for week 20:
- i might actually get to turn my phone off Monday to Friday? someone is taking a responsibility off me, after a lot of admin. i might get to be unavailable. have you ever been unavailable?
- this ought to lead to a ton of journalling. 'why am i available at all, what am i actually expected to do in an emergency, have i not made it clear enough that i am not your best option?' and suchlike thelemic waggery.
- fill large tubs & bottles with rain barrel water and use the little incinerator, you wuss.
[lol i must have hit save rather than publish on Sunday, just noticed this in drafts Wednesday, MLG pro blogger action from me]
