Serious, serious error today. I got to 8pm before I realised I had not had any coffee. How did it happen? Am I ill? Is this a new symptom of COVID-19? I am now topping up on a few cups otherwise I will never get to sleep. That was a minor error though, but more about that later.
First job today was a bit of spring cleaning my computer room. Dusting air vents on the desktop, clearing everything off the table and discovering all the hidden dust traps. Tomorrow will be dusting my hard disk – getting rid of all those duplicate files stuff I will never use again. Apparently if I spend 1 second looking at each photo on this computer it will take me 2 days to go through them all.
I then moved on to seed planting. I decided I would stick to 40 plants this year, that should be enough to keep me busy. I went for a mixture of tomato and pepper. One part was removing seeds from dried peppers. And here was my second mistake.
They say that proper hand cleaning is helped if you imagine your hands are covered in hot pepper. Well, I did wash my hands afterward, twice, 20 seconds each time at least. I then made the mistake of touching my nose. It made me realise just how hard it is to remove contamination from your hands! Hot hot hot – burning nose. I’m just glad I touched my nose before going to the toilet.
Topped off the day by planting a few onions. Be interesting seeing how well they take in sandy soil.
