I got a bit of planting done today, and got my potting area & indoor growing area sorted out so I'm properly ready to do more. LED grow lights are so cheap and efficient these days, it makes it feasible to raise a lot of plants indoors. I've had some herbs growing over winter, and have a couple of shelves with varying lights and a heat mat for the summer seedlings. I added a couple of fans today for air circulation and to stop too much heat building up around the lights. It can get a bit too bright because it is open shelves, so I have put a curtain around it with a forest print which cuts the light and looks quite nice. Now I just need to get the garden beds outdoors done so I have somewhere to put all the plants once they are ready.

tossed in the towel on today as I had the grump. Still somehow managed to dig out another greenhouse footing trench, repair the tanks (minor leaks) and irrigatia system, and do a fuckton of washing.

Also went fucking terminator on an ants nest after the little shits invaded the house. Shoulda stuck to the compost heap, boys.

any recommendations for a new office chair? Mine has started to just randomly let go of the recline lock giving me a heart attack every time it does it.

Could you get it Re-gassed or is the lock a different bit?

Morning all! I got part of the way through my exercises and looked at the time.. eeep! Gotta finish them tonight as I had to involve myself in the serious business of dressing Minipeelers as mad scientists for school. They look great! Elder has a Dr's jacket with an Einstein wig and my boss's old vespa goggles worn headband style. Miniest won the arguments about who was going to wear the Swinburne University lab coat, with fake nerd glasses and her own hair messed up. Should be a fun day.

The kinetic sculpture I bought from Temu has been installed. It looks pretty good - it's right in front of where I sit in the lounge room, and is much better to look at than the eyesore of a broken weather station that was in that position. Hopefully it lasts ok, it was pretty cheap.
