My left forearm still hurts except when I lay down, the pain is not as intense as earlier.

I ordered a sling of course.

But it still hurts.

Amazon still hasn't shipped my cereal or my pain pills, nor anything else in my order, problem resolved.

Back in the dark wetness that is the Food Desert...

More positively, a very chunky tracked excavator has remade a few miles of drainage ditches. Hopefully that will head off any further flooding and mud?...

Wiggo is preparing all kinds of distribution pipes for the summer drought. It seems that such things are unheard of in the food desert...

I'm watching "Puss in Boots, the last wish" on Prime.

And now: "The Bad Guys".

Wiggo is preparing all kinds of distribution pipes for the summer drought.

Actually we're in our wet season here and we've almost got half our average December rainfall already.

Well I got everything done that I wanted to do today for a change and tomorrow morning I add a layer of perlite to the 1st wicking tub that I have lined and the pipework fitted then I can measure and cut the 6 pieces of Geo-mesh required to complete all 6 with the hope of having at least 2 fully completed before my Good Friday LLB arrives.

Now I wonder if I can get another very rare 8hr sleep in again tonight, but I'm not counting on it.

Cheers.

Pipes are far too 'High Tech' for around here. Even the supposed 'expert' pipe fitters on site can't get anything straight... Physically or mentally!!


All this ongoing rain really is dampening everything, inside as well as out. There is a lot of water slopping on the ground. Also, we've had almost no daylight today.

All badly good for dampening the spirits... Hey ho...


Meanwhile, I'm very pleased with the ease and speed of clearing some of the burocracy. Good to see the good results already.

Unfortunately, there is other burocracy, with foreign support that is a frustrating (deliberate?) total waste of time, that is expensively wasting a lot of time. There should be laws against such lock-in...

Winning on a clear Good Friday morning as the sun rises where it's 15C with 27C expected along with the usual unstable weather due later this afternoon.

Anyhow it's time for a 2nd coffee.

Cheers.

This morning I got up, took my pills, cooked my breakfast since I'm out of cereal for the moment, and my left arm is not hurting as much this morning, almost no pain, weird.

Now that I'm all square with the world again for another fortnight I'll get my 3rd coffee in for the morning before checking on my veggies and then getting back to my new wicking tubs.

We're already up to a muggy 19C (feels like 20C) as a few wispy clouds start to float about.

Cheers.

Here it`s time for some beers after another busy day.

With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

Here, lost the will to live earlier from trying to explain fluid volume to a supposed skilled worker who looked more like something off an old comedy TV series. He was even resplendent in a WWII military style woolly hat... With a very woolly mentality to go with it...

So, getting to within 5% after much 'encouragement' is more than 'good enough' for him. And be thankful!

All needlessly hard work when far better results can be oh so much easier... For far better results all round.

Hey ho?


Definitely, beer needed!

It's getting very uncomfortable here as we exceed our average December temp for the 6th day in a row as we're already up to a very muggy 25C (feels like 26C) and I didn't enjoy being out in the sun filling the 1st of my new wicking tubs up with a soil/compost mix.

I'm now going to have a short cool down break before I go back downstairs to start assembling the 2nd 1 where it's already 26C down there.

Cheers.

It's brisk here at the foot of the sierras. Currently 49f with a range of 24 to 52. Clear and sunny.

My Gray 6XL Moheen shirt came today.

I went food shopping, on the way home some person tried to make a left turn, across my cars path, I had to slam on the brakes, he saw me.

In 2 trips from my car to the home I lugged 8 bags inside, all 8 are put away, of course my left arm is hurting again, but my freezer is full.

I've got 2 finished and 1 ready for some soil/compost guru (once I mix some more up), but that's it for me today as the temp outside sits at a steamy 27C (feels like 28C) as the clouds gather again and 30C downstairs so I'm retiring to my 22C (feels like 20C) unit upstairs until things improve.

Cheers.

There is little excitement down at my Delta house. We had a tsunami warning. Nothing manifested, but a few locals called me asking how to save themselves. I just suggested sitting on top of the levy with a favored spirit. Eurkea suffered damage from the quake but no tsunami was generated.

Was wondering if you were floating or on the hill.

It got to a stinking 29C here today before storm clouds blocked out the sun, but some cooling rain would be nice.

Cheers.

Whatever else Martin - don't cry in your beer. Beer diluted with tears tastes :-(

Thanks, yes!

And yes, last orders beers did help, with two fine stouts.

And by 'eck wet 'n' wild it was last night...

Anyhow, I've got a breather to enjoy some very diffuse sunshine before a long last shift before escape to Civilization tomorrow.

(At least I hope so... With this lot and 'happenings'... Ya never know even just an hour beforehand!)

I see there is a red warning for high winds in Minehead - nothing to worry about as my nephew and his mate are going out for a curry tonight.
