Up and at it well before thought for the day came on the wireless and already done some jobs and polished off a bacon roll by eight. In fact it was Orangeudon who prompted me to get out of bed. He didn’t say so in so many words. Just the sound of him makes me instinctively reach for the off button.
Rained quite a bit yesterday which was badly needed. Could do with intermittent heavy rain over the next few days really. Raining now in fact but just a few drops on the conservatory roof. Just enough to make rain noise. I’m sat in here waiting for my pot of tea to finish brewing. THG went swimming at some unearthly hour so I have the house to myself.
The last three days have been a lot busier than usual. The whole of May has in fact as activity levels ramp up for the conference I’ve organised in Sorrento next week. We are setting off this afternoon. Staying at the Sofitel in T5 tonight as we have to check in around nine ey em. I don’t do early starts these days. Though having said that our flight to Rome in March was at five to seven in the morning. Was the only flight with reward seat availability. In the week or three before the trip I did look at changing it and was prepared to pay but not the seven hundred and fifty quid per person they wanted. For an economy seat!. To Rome!
So yesterday I fixed the greenhouse irrigation system. In reality all that was wrong was a pipe had come adrift at the end of the run and there was therefore no water pressure to push anything out through the drip feeders. Gave all the nozzles a clean out anyway, using an old toothbrush and some hot soapy water. Will need to top up the water butts that fed the irrigation system. There won’t have been enough rain to fill em up. I also repotted my chilli plants. Fingers crossed I’ll get a harvest this year. Birds Eye, Habanero, Jalapeno and one that @shannon gave me whose name escapes me right now. I think it is labelled.
Still a few jobs to do this morning and gotta finish packing. Might as well make a start. Ciao amigos.
Oh, fox came at thirteen minutes past two (am), eleven twenty one, three minutes to seven in the evening yesterday and two thirteen this morning.
