So yesterday we vanquished many foes…
The weeds were attacked, there’s still more but their army of green-seedy-evil is much weakened.
The trellis was raised in defence, protecting the joyous garden from the pile-of-earth-currently being taken over (with some assistance) by wild strawberries.
The unplanted were granted a home (two decorative grasses are now in the front garden).
The extra-hair-of-longness was shortened and spiked.
And the Jaggery-of-required-for-cooking-dinner was located, purchased and used to make a very fine Thai curry.
We also now sport a complete selection of spare bulbs for travelling in continental Europe where they’re much stricter on these sorts of things than we are in the UK. The camping stuff has arrived or been purchased – I think we’re now fully equipped on that front (I hope so, because for a cheap holiday it’s turning out to be much more pricey).
We also went and collected the DAF manual, because I couldn’t work out how to get the door off, and it agrees with everyone else. Just knock the hinge pins out, it says. I’m wondering if the things I’m seeing are some kind of cappy thing that I need to lift off, so I’ll have a bit of a better look.
Unfortunately the demon that is the non-draining shower has returned. I’m going to lift the floor and take apart the waste-water plumbing and see if it is, as I suspect, full of tile grout that needs to be removed. But today, today we are visiting my mum :)
