Insanity rules
Jan. 1st, 2006 12:26 pmIt's 41.6C outside. That's 106.9F. I just mowed the back lawn. Yes I wore susnscreen, and long trousers, and a hat, and I tipped a bucket of water over myself before I started. But I still think I must be insane.
Why today? The grass was knee-length and I go to work at 2 so I wanted to do it before I left. And it's only a little back yard - about 10m by 5m. Oh - and I forgot to check the weather before I did it - if I'd realised tomorrow is going to be 25C (77F) instead, I wouldn't have. It could have waited a day. But I tend to be impulsive, and also wanted to check that the mower was working ok.
But I've just stood under a cold shower for 5 minutes, and am now damp and lounging in very little but a towel in front of the fan. And my tomato plants are still attached to their stems, and the back yard's grass is now short.

Also, your Frithmas parcel arrived, and you are evil, evil, evil. The mechanical squirrels will definitely be watching you. Thanks for the
Tim-Tamscontraband. Poing!(Hey, Aldin's asleep, does that mean I still have to share 'em...?)
