2026
I got some watering done early, as it’s the best time to do it, and also it’s a job done. Alternatively, watering late in the evening is second best.
Here are some strawberries with one of our rose bushes, and grow bags containing four different varieties of potatoes.


Back to the salt mine tomorrow. It’s been a pleasant break. My wife is working today, and I’m having a quiet day indoors by myself. She’s going out with a friend after work, so I don’t need to make dinner.
Easy Like Sunday Morning. I work some Sundays, which sucks, but not today. I’ve burn awake some time, but I’ve been reading and drinking coffee.
Get Palantir out of the NHS.
My back garden faces south west. I shall go and sit in the sunshine this afternoon and enjoy a cool beer and the glorious weather.
I don’t bother with regular supermarkets, but a little later this morning I’m going to take a trip to Costco and stock up on some meat and fish. I should be there and back within the hour. I get in, get what I want and go. I’m a reluctant shopper at the best of times!
This morning’s listening:
Astralasia - Whatever Happened to Utopia?

I had a lie-in this morning after waking up very early. I did go back to sleep until seven. Coffee now, and a bit of gardening too.
So the weather in the UK has warmed up a bit. Temperature where I live, near Heathrow reached 81°F (27°C). The reaction from some was like it was like Death Valley! I had windows open through the house and we had a fan on in the bedroom last night and I’ve woken up to a nice cool bedroom this morning.
Chillin’ with some tunes this afternoon. Email housekeeping. Cleared out the garage, now clearing out the inboxes. Checking through Bandcamp, Juno Download, and Roon for new music.
