Ahhh, summer. We had supper on the deck this evening and listened to the birds and the lambs. It was delightful. I then realised there was not a jot of wind so filled a spray container with anti fungal stuff and went to spray the fruit trees. I was devastated to see that many of them had been eaten to within an inch of their lives. I immediately identified the critters responsibe and went back up to the house for anti beetle stuff. There were thousands of the buggers but I don't think they had a chance against my big guns. I will be on their case now until every last one is dead!!!! Ahhh, summer!!
Planted beetroot seeds some silverbeet plants that I bought today. When I stuck them in I realised that I had already planted a dozen silverbeet about 2 weeks ago! About 4 plants keeps us supplied so I think I might be in for a glut!!
My work day was stuffed up when it was apparent that Alice was not fit for school. I moved my 10.30am meeting with my colleague to 3pm and spent the morning doing computer work. I actually got myself vaguely organised and waded through about 80 emails so felt quite productive. Haven't seen much of H today as she has gone to a friends for a sleepover. She came in breifly after piano lessons and dashed out again. Eric doing all the running around as my lack of sleep means I am hardly fit to drive. (I don't do much with less than 8 hours sleep under my belt!). Anyway I had a veg plot to tend.
Alice has perked up this evening - just in time for the weekend!
