Right, that's a chunk of the garden tamed.

Time to put the kettle on.

Tamed😂 For how long?

Good pair of boots and a back pack would help you more View attachment 592664
This was in May, keep heading that direction and you can walk over the Pyrenees on mountain tracks and you will cross into Spain

Stop taunting a person.

Top list avoidance. I remember when essay deadlines were getting closer and closer, the flat became spotless.

All the stuff you blindside thankfully recedes into the rear view to be replaced by important tasks such as cleaning up the place or besting a patience score.
I remain astounded at the importance of card patience games when tax falls due.

My mower is slow, perhaps 12kph full throttle, yours may be faster, or slower.
You have a calculator? I don't pay for travel time or miles mind you. €20 usually pays for a garden cut when I'm away.

TBH I don't know how fast mine can go.

It's a rather venerable Westwood with a 12.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine and a 5-speed manual gearbox.

It's like painting the Forth Bridge. By the time I get back to the beginning, it wants doing again...

Where's the fuse box in my 2012 Honda Jazz?
T'book says flap down the glove box (which one, there's two). Nope, not there cos that'll be for a left hand drive model, obviously!
Flap down a flap under the steering wheel... Nope.
It must be somewhere

It's in the glovebox, at the back/top.

Or at least I think so. SWMBO's 2009 Jazz hasn't had anything go wrong with it on her 10 years of ownership.

I have a and a pain au chocolat and a stack of old Formula 3 footage.

Not a bad way to spend an evening

I'm retiring to watch 1.5 episodes of Fargo after an eventful and perhaps not so mundane a day, I'll reflect over the rest of the weeks days to decide if it was mundane, most things are I think, except for taxes.

That boarding house in the country near Kansas City (actually Pontiac, Illinois) is a short bicycle ride from my house, maybe 2 or 3 miles as the crow flies, but longer due to necessary detours for the Interstate 55.

There is a silver coloured car, a red coloured motorcycle and a yellow coloured motorcycle. I see you use the words "the car", my vehicles aren't on your list (I would feel unease if they where) but if you happen to be passing.....
I can provide all of the usual car chore tools, free tea too, coffee if you prefer.

It may be a bit of a problem to "happen to be passing" with all the travel restrictions, quarantine and Covid tests, but if there's free coffee I'm sure a work around can be found

Lexi is wandering around with a tail like a bottle brush.

Is it at least her own, or has it been "borrowed" from somewhere/someone?

Top list avoidance. I remember when essay deadlines were getting closer and closer, the flat became spotless.

It's not so much list avaoidance as co-ordinating of activities.

The list contains such mudane items as ironing, chaging the bedding, vacuuming, cleaning the kitchen floor.
Monday was the first day of a week of late shifts so involved taking food for the week into work. Therefore it was pointless doing the ironing as some of it was uniform for work and there wasn't room in the backpack for it.
I couldn't do the vacuuming as yesterday evening's washing (bike gear) was on the clothes horse in the spare room being given a good airing before being put away (and see the next 2 points)
I couldn't change the bedding as it always goes straight into the wash and it wouldn't have dried before I had to leave for work
The vacuuming is always done after the bedding has been changed.
The kitchen floor is always done after the vacuuming.

I may be over thinking things!

It's her own tail. When it's in bottle brush mode, it's a good 4 inches wide...

Anyways, time to put the writing away and go get some sleep.
