A Normal Thursday

Well, it was a normal Wednesday followed by a normal Thursday.

Yesterday I started to pot up the two eau de cologne mint plants that I bought.

I want them outside the kitchen window to keep away the flies. I dug out two large planters, because they're mint and I know how it can get, and then dragged over a bag of compost that must have been sitting there for years. Or tried to. The dratted thing had already split and there were miscellaneous roots going through it. I still heaved it out, cut it open, flinched at the creepy crawlies, and split it between the two planters. They were maybe a third full, which is completely insufficient. Then it started to rain heavily so I gave in. 

Today I found a coir brick in the walk in cupboard. It's one of those where you add water and the brick magically becomes soil. 

That was this morning, it isn't soil but solidly brick like despite the water, and I nearly broke my neck slipping on the water I spilled trying to rehydrate the dratted thing - see, normal Thursday.

I'm full of the sniffles and fed up. I've got some other coir bricks, and if they fail, there's soil in the garden I can use. I'll have another go tomorrow.

I've done a little more on the emotional support shawl, and I'm feeling better for it. I've done about two inches, which is a lot for that many stitches, and hopefully I'll post a pic tomorrow. 

Writing stuff - the reason why I've been a little distracted is I've been planning out some writing, and you can see my provisional plans here - Provisional Plans or What Might be Going On. But I'm guaranteeing nothing. 

Hugs and good health to all.
