I stole this - Today’s date is both a palindrome and an ambigram. You can read it left to right, right to left, and upside down, apparently.
David has been melting plastic on the hob today to make
himself some wrist straps for varying knives, multi-tools, and a portable knife
sharpener. He sharpened the kitchen knives yesterday and I cut my thumb. Today I
have cut my little finger. So I only have three fingers to go and that’s my
left hand all covered in plasters! Reminds me, must put plasters on the
shopping list…
I noticed today that the avocado is now the source of fungus
gnats so I have repotted it into a bigger pot (it needed it, the roots were
coming out the bottom). I had to jump on the bag of compost to loosen it and
break it up as it was frozen. Probably not ideal for potting something up, but
it needed doing. The avo is now in a bigger pot, in a plastic bag, with the bag tied around
the stem. Hopefully should keep any gnats out, and any gnats in there will die. I am determined for this avo to survive - I ripped it in half accidentally before it had even sprouted and only this half grew.
I have rearranged the mantel a bit and now the haribo bear
is riding a triceratops skelly. Bernie is still on his silver flamingo. The daffs
are looking very bright and lovely.
Exercise today: crochet. The main body of the blanket may
well be done by Sunday! And then I need to do a border. And then wash it.
Dinner today: sausage, mash & paes. Homemade onion gravy
and homemade mixed veg mash. Took fucking hours to make and seconds to eat.
One of our neighbours was taken on their final journey
today. We think it was the old chap over the road. There was a couple of ambos
at the house a few weeks ago. We didn’t know him but there’s only about twenty
houses in our little cul de sac.
