It was another weekend of greens tidying. So while Tress gave the house a good vacuuming, I wend outside and did the lawns, trimmed the camellias and tidied up the outside generally. All through that, my foot ached with a swell/inflammation that has plagued me each time I’ve had my B12 injections in recent months. Hopefully the one I had about a week and a half ago would be the last and my foot would be free from this pain.
It was also a weekend of clearing up some stuff for a hard waste collection we booked. The main thing to go was the last remaining piece of an old sofa we bought when we first moved to Melbourne. That piece has been retained solely for the doggies, as they sit and look into the parkland/oval across the road. With the new piece Tress picked up last week, that old tattered piece now sits on the nature strip, along with some other odds and ends, including a couple of very old stereo sets and speakers.
Well other than discarding old stuff, I also planted some new seedlings. We picked up some tomato (beef steaks no less) and chilli seedlings on Saturday morning from a local seller just off Blackburn Road, and planed them into the veg plot we had prepped a couple of weeks back, with compost and ridding of weeds etc. Fingers crossed the plants would flourish.
With the house freshly cleaned and some old furniture out the door, the house felt a touch fresh. It’s the end of spring now, and while it is still cool most days, we’ve had stretches of warm days to remind us summer’s just around the corner. I can’t wait for it to come, as it’d mean we’d be closer to when we can go up and see Kiddo, Abby and Mic again. Seeing them always makes me feel fresh and renewed, even when my foot is plagued with post B12 pains.
