A cold COLD day. Probably the first real blast of winter we've had. I hate winter. I hate the mess and being uncomfortable and sliding on my ass and having dogs mucked up to the eyebrows and BLEAK BLEAK BLEAK. Roll on spring, with its promises!
Managed to get the greenhouse back together today (with help from Simon). Whats IN the greenhouse, though, I have just about given up on. Those tomatoes are never gonna ripen now. Only thing left to try is to pick the decent green ones, then put them in a warm place to see if they will ripen. Such a pity that I got the greenhouse so late in the season, and also that I got such neglected plants from Joanne. It OFFENDS me that nothing came of it all. Well, not all...I still got my herbs (which I have been using liberally in cooking). So, my plan of action now is....get all the bushy plants out of there (like the tomatoes), and wash down in preparation for hunkering down for the winter. I have miniature daffodils that I intend to put in planters ready for the spring (and they should be in there before Christmas, I am informed), plus some other little flower things. Its a steep learning curve, this green finger stuff :)
Joanne arrived this morning on her way to work - with her computer under her arm, and would I please spend a few minutes backing up all her photography work? So I had a look. OH MY GOD!..........there was over thirteen THOUSAND pictures on there, taking up well over 20 gig. And no structure that *I* could discern. They were scattered all over the hard drive! I borrowed David's external DVD burner, and bought a pack of the correct DVD's, and started. Needless to say, between dealing with kids, thats been an all day thing....and I am still not sure if I have identified all that should be kept :) Still...it all keeps the brain active :)
Haven't seen David or Thomas today....Mertie had Thomas. Even with Simon arriving with Kate (Megan and Tara being at school), and Daniel (and later Rebeckah), we BOTH felt at a little bit of a loose end. I need an attitude adjustment
Evenings are a bit of a funny time for me. Usually, TV is crap.....I find very little on there to interest me. Which leaves the computer or the dogs, and walking dogs is NOT exactly a whole evening thing :) So its computer....either talking to people or fiddling. Only...the folk I talk to are either here, and watching TV, or in America and still at work. Weird, me :) I expect the divorce papers to be served on me anyday now
aacckk...enough for now...more later if anything occurs...
