Day 1168 Lots of hot air

22nd October 2020

I looked out the window, the rock pile was still there, it hadn’t shrunk during the night.

I had to get the drawerless dresser finished so the it could be posted. This had been a labour of love, and it had taken me a year to complete it, it will be sad to see it go.

This time of year means leaves, plenty of them. I spent time raking them off my new grass, no sooner had I done it more came down.

I need to learn how to use the blower, I’ve watched experts do the most amazing things with them. They can manipulate leaves like a sheep dog herding sheep. The first time I used it I was blowing them everywhere but where I wanted them to go, it was a little embarrassing.

I need to practice at night.

Kelli found another posted free dresser, not far away, and despite my feeble objections we went anyway.

The person had intended it as a project but never got round to finishing it, it requires a bit of imagination because a couple of drawers are missing, so well within our capabilities.

I started laying some of the new paving on my newly laid hardcore, but it was starting to get dark, and I didn’t want to rush it, so I abandoned it for the day.

Later in the evening we watched the last presidential debate, subjecting ourselves to ninety minutes of excruciating Trump talking absolute tripe.

The man has no plan for the pandemic, healthcare, the environment, the list goes on.

It is frustrating for me, and I can’t even vote!
