The Next Project.

We had some very heavy rain in the morning, a side effect of Hurricane Erin I believe. But amazingly it all cleared up in the afternoon and once again it was very hot.

I waited until the worst of the rain was over before driving to the zoo and had kept myself busy by cooking up the bag of cooking apples that my friend had given me yesterday. Stewed apple goes nicely with our morning porridge. 

At the zoo I was determined to finish weeding the gravel by the guineafowl so despite a number of brief showers I carried on weeding. I had my yellow jacket by me and would put it on as the rain began and then moments later the shower would stop and off came the jacket. This FB reel made last week shows my work area, beautifully weed free.

The zoo was very busy today as it was the last of the VIP days when people can see the exotic animals and there were almost back to back talks and demonstrations. The zoo staff must be exhausted by the end of the day. I just get on with my weeding though I did have a long chat with someone I know who was there with his visiting family.

Before tackling the last corner of the large play area I went over the planted up gravel by the wolf dogs removing any weeds and picking up fallen leaves. I further distracted myself by spending some time with the pigs. They had been tucking into a heap of fresh grass but came running and squeaking as soon as I went into their field. Tummy scratches are better than grass any day.

Back home I got on with household chores before finding time to sit outside and enjoy the sun. I was all changed ready to go to choir when I realised that both my knee and my back were aching and after waking at 4.00 this morning I didn't feel like going out again. 

Having decided to stay home when I found  out that it might be raining tomorrow I went ahead with my latest wild idea and began sticking glass blobs on the inside of the back gate. I eventually ran out of energy and hope I get a chance to finish off tomorrow. I'm using the expensive builder's adhesive so the glass should stay stuck but you never know, I might go out tomorrow and find a pile of glass blobs on the ground.
