I'm off to buy some big black plastic bags because I've got TWO gardeners here today and they're going to de-jungle-ize my garden.
Watch this space for stray, pythons, rodents, scorpions and lethal stick insects...
I'm then going to make some Chettinad garlic pickle, because a whole kilo of peeled garlic in the fridge is stinking the place out.

When they're done with you - send them up to me :D
 
I’m off to my mom’s house, clearing more of my sister’s stuff, she particularly wants all of her books of British history. After this batch, I told her this is it, she has no room at her own house. No more pack rat tendency. Some of her electrical stuff will be donated at a local GoodWill store, they state online, they will take anything working or not.

After this we will go to our favorite British pub and have fish and chips.

In the afternoon, My daughter and I will go return one pair of shoes at the mall, what was I thinking to purchase a 3.5 inch heel at my age. Wishful thinking, lol. Then mom and daughter will go shopping. Yay!

3.5" heel?
I figure 3.5 cm would be too much for me.
I rather keep my feet (heels & toes) onthe ground.
My favourite pair is bare feet :)
 
I worked from home, then Mrs. GH and I brought 5 or 6 wheelbarrow loads of firewood up to the house, and then we did typical house chores before I made a meatloaf for my teenager who will be coming home late from college tonight.

I know, and have a pallet of Envi blocks on order. (Compressed sawdust bricks.) They make 2.5x the BTUs of typical hardwood by volume, and burn a looonnnnggggg time down to clean, white ash. (We've used them before.) They also come on a pallet that they'll set right in the garage. I know, it's "not the same" as burning real firewood, but we've just had too many projects going at once over the last year to keep up.

Coming from an HVAC background if you're after BTUs then go with what works best! These worked well for 60 ton compressors but at 3000 lbs each were a beeatch to remove/install. It'd take me and 2 others a week...

I had firewood delivered yesterday. Makes me happy because back before the solar was installed power cuts (or sometimes central heating failures) often meant there’d be some point in the winter where there was no heating so the logs give me a feeling of comfort 😊
Anyway onto plans for today. NONE! Whoop whoop 🙌
 
Plan for today is try to root some of my fig cuttings, I finally bought some sand.
In the afternoon, I’m going to my sister’s house, a cleaner is coming. I found her cleaning one of my neighbors. Now I hope she comes, I did confirm with her last night but you never know. If she does, I’m going to setup a regular cleaning schedule for my sister’s house, not going to let her lapsing back to the old ways. My mom’s house is dirty.

I think maybe I’ve missed something 🤷‍♀️
What’s going on with your sister that she’s not able to sort out her housekeeping?
