I should have known. 🤦‍♀️

I dropped the hammer on a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad L490, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD (8th Gen), preloaded with Windows 11. I'm out £168, but it would have cost £210 or more from elsewhere. I wasn't gonna sleep on that deal! 😵 Thanks for reminding me to go shopping. 🥰

I'm in the same boat. I'm gonna have to buy a new notebook or tablet. 😫

"I can do this!"

Freaking exhausted. I love and hate this time of year. It's exciting, getting the garden plants ready - but it's also a lot of work, on top of everything else (domestic, and otherwise). I also have to chase down the people, who are collecting the plants I've donated to the community projects, and schedule pickups, in between everything else. And spring cleaning. My lawks, I am wiped out, from cleaning window sills and casements. I should be asleep right now, but my brain is too busy, planning tomorrow's exhaustion. Why the F do I do this, again? 🤦‍♀️😵

Look at my beautiful "Adelaide Festival" tomato! 😍🍅

Can I die now? 😞

Wow, it looks "new" in here! I love it! And I can actually read this font, without having to engage dyslexic hyper-compensation! Great choice, admin!

I'm feeling glad that the winter holidays are over with, and I can get back to being Lady Chatelaine, in earnest.

So far away from a home that I don't even recognise, any more.

Like an alien.

I'm thinking about how much I miss my people, this time of year. I don't have any close friends here, even after 13 years. My only one died, three years ago. 😞

I have thought of another couple of favourites - Fantasy Island (the 1970s original series), Colombo, and St. Elsewhere. 😃

I forgot about "Friday the 13th" (the 1980s series about cursed antiques). Also, "Tales of the Gold Monkey." Currently working my way through both. Oh, the nostalgia - and also a lot of cringey, late 20th century behaviour, too! I guess this is the cost of nostalgia; weighing it against modern perspective, it makes you realise a lot of things.

I hate fleas! 🤬🤬🤬

This amazing Jazz Noir playlist. One of my favourite genres. Would love to see a Thomas Ligotti themed film, with a dark jazz soundtrack! P S. If you have never read any Ligotti, you should.

She's a common cross spider, Araneus diadematus. Absolutely harmless. You can move her to a better place, similar to where she is, if you don't like the place she's chosen. I can't guarantee that you won't see more bugs in the house, in her absence, though. 🙂

Tired. I can't wait until the comparably lazy, cozy, fireplace and coffooze days of winter, after all of the bummer yard work chores are finished! 😵

Hmmm ... I would wish for multiplicity, if I had the chance. That would solve most of my problems. 🤔

I'm thinking about how autumn garden chores, and seasonal house cleaning, are difficult enough, without added fleas! How the fickety-fuck we got fleas? Our cats don't even go outside. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

So tired, and so sore. Tired enough to sleep for a week, I think.
