Finished weeding the backyard (though I took a break when I had about 50+ ants on me), swept the paving and got rid of webs around the eaves. There wasn't a lot.

Then I went and did the same around the front (but for the weeding).

I'm procrastinating now about sweeping the floors inside ready for mopping. I've done the toilet, bathroom and laundry. Up to doing the kitchen now.

Begun the process of emptying and cleaning out the big planters.  Started with the lemon cucumbers.  Now I have to let the planter dry out so I can clean it out thoroughly before putting away in the garage.  It's been a strange year for growing.  Some plants did ok, but, most were below normal yield.  Oh well, I'll try again next year, it's not only food and herbs to nourish the body, but, a good chore to nourish my mind and spirit.   8)

Had a nice brunch, then typed out my short story published on kindle for the third time. It was full of errors - couldn't believe it. Then I talked to mum on the phone, and uploaded my revised short story, wrote an email, checked on my story at amazon, and came here.

Had a chiropractor appointment, bought drinks, was home for our inspection, went with Kayleigh to the doctor, had burgers at Grill'd, went to a friend's house to drop off a form for volunteering at a "for cancer" event. Can't remember what it's called, dang it.

Still kind of tweaking out the garage.

Over the past three days, I have built two, four door "pantry style" cabinets into a cubby, next to our freezers. Now I can take some of the "in the way most of the time"  things from under our inside cabinets and store them out of "harms way," so to speak.

Such things as all my canning equipment, my too many ironware pieces, the extra three hundred plus big ass knives we rarely use, my two extra coffee presses, my small collection of hand coffee grinders, meat grinders and sausage things, my growing collection of tea pots, etc.  I seem to have room left over, so some impervious to cold things can go out there as well, such as extra sugar, flour, rice, grains, dry detergents and extra baking cookware.

I am now very glad that I made them so large and even more glad that I made two!

Take any pictures?  Some of that stuff is really cool!
We have a guy in the next town over who has a steam car he rolls out sometimes. First time I saw it, I was looking around to see if I was on an episode of "Jay Leno's Garage" or some shit.
Nope, he just takes it out to piss people off at times.

Worked in the office. Had a couple of meetings with people. Now on board a train back home.

Volunteered for the afternoon. Found a scrapbooking album destined for the bin that I thought my friend would like. I took a photo of it and texted her. Yep, she'd like it. I'll probably drop it off to her during next week sometime.

Went to some open homes. Checked out some blocks of land also. Then I came home and finished sugar soap cleaning the loungeroom walls and cornices.

Yeah. After spending almost two weeks doing one spare room I'm starting on the loungeroom, because it's the second least cluttered room in the house lol.

Not really I had more customers that I knew what to do with.  I looked up videos of the show and found a couple from this year the first has a good overview of the show the second has some of that but also shows the guy shopping at the vendors.  He doesn't show my table but he bought the screw jack in the video from me,  I recognized it from the yellow paint that got on it when I was painting my ladder racks :2thumbsup:

Three good things I've made happen today. First I got rid off the little white stye (hordeolum) in my left eye. The little fucker has been bugging me for quite a while. Big relief. Secondly I changed the leaking tap in the kitchen. It was a shitty tap anyway. Short and was not able to swing left or right. New tap is great. Also, third thing, I fixed my email account.. and can now read my mail again. Or write an email myself.... (duh). 

All went way easier than I thought beforehand.
