Using my share of water

I had a really productive day today, so I am over the moon -I feel as though I may have earned my pay today! What a novelty :)

I decided to come straight home after work so I could go for a swim, and just generally have an early night. I managed to water the back garden and it far better doing it in a swim suit as I always decide to move the sprinkler and get wet! The ground is so hard and dry most of the water just ponds on top of the grass, it is amazing anything survives. I also used my new spanner to undo the other hose pipe at the far side of the house - very satisfying. I then used my spray gun to soak the areas of dying grass at the front of the house that don't get watered by the sprinkler system. I am still hopeful they will grow, and once established it will get enough to survive. Before I went to the front of the house, I got changed out of my swim suit, however, I opted for trousers, long sleeve top, desert boots and deet! Yes, I was hot, but at least I minimised my chance of getting eaten by the mosquitoes.

I also pumped up my bike tyres. The new pump is like a dream, and my tyres are ready for a cycle. I just have to remember when I go out to be on the right hand side of the road! I am only planning on cycling through the residential streets and on to the Bayou.

The reason my cable TV wasn't working was due to user error! So I am now enjoying more Top Gear repeats, again!
