Reading. The Audacity of Hope. So far I like Obama better when he's doing personal reflections than when he's talking about How Unreasonable Liberals Are, surprise. (It's obvious that he is attempting to Reach Out To A Broad Base! I'm still finding it irritating.)
Growth. BOUGHT A GREENHOUSE OFF EBAY. \o/ Subsequently ordered the plants I was holding off on until I Knew Whether I Was Getting One (a cut-price lemon tree because I'm ridiculous; some Passiflora edulis seeds because I want passionfruit), and also some bonus seeds (two kinds of basil, caraway, Nigella sativa, some rocket). Hi
ewt wanna grow some loofah in my greenhouse?
Additional point of excitement: I'm going to keep the compost bin in the greenhouse, which will (a) reduce watering requirements and (b) keep the frost off over winter provided I keep actually feeding it.
Things done: appropriate size of van identified and also hired. Things to do: apply for a permit for the structure (this is a formality), work out what I'm going to sit it on, find a paving slab to sit the bin on in its forever home, consider acquiring a Big Pot to put the passionflower in, aaaaand massage the budget sufficient that I can Acquire Some Edging For My Raised Beds during the weekend the van exists anyway.
TV. More Leverage! They're still all really incompetent! That is not how airports work and is absolutely not how international flights and fuelling thereof work. I continue to enjoy the Somewhat Useless Humans, though.
