Week 33

Mowed the lawn today, using the tractor again. It took just over an hour, so am getting much better at it. Raked up some of the grass clippings to use as a mulch and weed supressant on part of the garden. Would have been a lot easier with a mower with catcher so I could just dump it on the garden instead of having to rake it up.

Finished pruning the rose bushes back. Some already seem to have new growth on them.

A possum made its way either onto or into the roof the other night, keeping P and I awake with all its banging and crashing. No sign of it since though. Hopefully it found its way out and is gone for good.

Speaking of noises in the night, lately there has been a lot of chirping sounds in the evening. Not sure if it is crickets or frogs or what, but I would have thought it was too cold for crickets at least.

Lost power again last night. Apparently some idiot drove into a power pole again. At least it wasn't till 9.30 so we just got an early night instead.
