Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

The heatwave has broken...Hurrah!!!! :pwell at least for now... we have a Massive lightening storm, and torrential rain...just started about 10 minutes ago...and apparently been doing this further west of the county all day ( floods reported in most places) , so we were fortunate we didn't get that earlier today while were out sawing wood to make shelves for the new office... ..lots of painting (ceiling and walls), sanding down, shelves being made and re-positioned,

Thankfully everything had been put back into the barns and sheds , including all the garden furniture cushions before the rain started.. ..another hour or so and it will be dark anyway

Send some rain my way!

My husband is no long allowed to use an electric saw. Last time he sawed the end of one finger off and badly cut two others cause he didn’t need to use the safety. The paramedic asked me to go look for his finger piece so it could be sewed back on.

😂. Yeah, like that was going to happen-not.

Well, you can come over to my house and help with the yard 😍and I’ll supply pizza, pasta, and ice cream for lunch. We will eat the ice cream first. Then the pasta and pizza, more ice cream, sit on my tiny patio in my plastic patio chairs and direct my husband to the work we want him to finish.

Heck, I am in a really generous mood, go ahead, take him home with you and make him work at your house. Hmm, do you have a really big dog house for him to stay in? You will need one. 😂
Cheer up fast @MarciKS-a woman is running for Vice President, (not a political statement), it’s the age AQUARUS-or something like that 🤣

I mulched my roses this morning. The black mulch looks great against the red and pink and green of the roses. Thank heaven I just ran out of mulch. My everything hurts.

There's definitely something about 2020 that's HAIRY alright! LOL
I'll take the food. You can keep the husband. 😁
 

Lots of things are being accomplished in this house in the name of renovation, and a very capable O/H... currently he's fitting new skirting boards in the new office room .

I've put my back out, it's very painful, caused by helping with the renovations, and lifting things that are far too heavy..., screamed trying to get out of bed this morning.. :cry: so I'm getting around slowly using canes.. but I've still managed albeit very carefully and deliberately to get the laundry done this morning.. and have a shower.. That's a huge achievement at the moment (y)

Rest, rest, rest, you get better soon!
 
OMG! Today’s Friday? What? I won’t tell you what day I thought it was! 😅

Yesterday I took the girls for an hour walk, jogged for 1/2 an hour, transplanted my pot plants, mowed the back lawn, pulled a wheel barrel full of weeds, did 2 loads of laundry and vacuumed.

This morning I slept in which rarely happens but it felt surprisingly good.

Never pull weeds. They are perennials. They will sprout from the roots which you can't get all out if you just pull them. The best time to do it is in the fall because then they won't be able to sprout in the spring.
The only thing that works on weeds is weed killer spray or fertilizer. And don't mow the lawn before you spray. And don't do it before a rain. It has to go into the leaf. Then hormones take over and they out grow themselves.

@hollydolly I hope your back will feel better soon I know back pain is a real pita.
 
Did some cooking ahead: 2 kinds of cauliflower, roasted and cheesy casserole; baked sweet potatoes, cooking carrots with apples. I listened to smooth jazz while I cooked and talked with my Prince Among Men on the phone.
 
Yesterday I helped a mate treat a cow with a sore on its udder, to try to stop flies making it worse, and allow infections into the tissue.

Today may not sound so impressive, but I managed to put a very awkward, difficult to access 3/8" unc bolt in place, to hold a tractor starter motor firmly in position! :whistle:(y) .
