Shocking job refilling the ice cube tray this morning. My ancestors would be ashamed.

My favourite trick is when someone has refilled it and a second unaware person grabs the icecube tray out ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

I did not sleep well last night. Physically and mentally I am doing bad -_-

The zucchini look like they're on their way out. The heat and the powdery mildew hit them hard. The cherry tomatoes are ripening in another wave but I don't see my friend til later this week. Hopefully they don't rot or get eaten by birds. Some are splitting. The parsley and baby spinach and carrots seem to be dying off after dryness and I might let them finish up to reuse the window boxes. I pulled up a large round carrot. The pumpkin plants are growing bigger but I see tiny spots of mildew starting and a few whiteflies.

Frankly I've been neglecting the garden a bit aside from playing catch up with water. I'm just struggling to keep pushing myself.

Looks like Brisbane is really starting to feel Alfred's penetration after days of being edged... landfall on the mainland in about 6 hours or so... pretty big bands smashing the GC and northern NSW. Poor northern NSW, they just don't seem to be able to catch a break.

sky pretty

anyone else remember those very beautiful volcano sunrises and sunsets? The sky itself was purple and pink.

It looked different than a normal sunrise or sunset, maybe the spectrum of wavelengths were different.
