I was asked by my supplier to provide an electricity meter reading, so I got that done today. Then returning to the main page for my account on their website it says:
So obviously I clicked the link to request a refund:
Err, what?
Time to get on the blower, it would seem.
Whilst I don’t really have any interest in the Superbowl or Bad Bunny, I was amused to see that the Orange Man-Baby commented on Lies Social that “nobody understands a word this guy is saying”. Clearly Sleepy Don doesn’t realise that forty-five million residents of the USA speak Spanish at home (according to Wikipedia) and about fifty-nine million speak it in total (as a second language, for example).
Still, why would he care about that? Almost one fifth of the population really is nobody, after all.
This one is from Spain rather than Italy, I’m told. Apparently from somewhere near Valencia. I had to juice a box full of them today. Some were almost too big to fit on top of the juicer!
The Sun was only a few degrees off the horizon when it created this rainbow. Sadly it doesn’t look anywhere near as semi-circular as it appeared to the naked eye. I assume that must be something to do with the camera lens.
In the valley behind my home today…
My height extension for the propagator is now complete!
Hopefully this will allow the peppers to continue growing under the grow light until they’re big enough to be elsewhere.
I’m stunned at how fast the peppers are growing under the grow lights.
I’m concerned that before the end of the week the plants will have reached the lid of the propagator, so I’m going to make a collar for it to allow the lid to be raised and give the plants more room.
My replacement inner tubes arrived today. The courier tried to hide them in the cupboard containing the pump for the well, but I found them eventually. It barely took ten minutes to get one of the new tubes back into place. Then I had to pump it up without the valve in just to get everything to settle into position, after which I was able to replace the valve and get the tyre up to an adequate pressure.
Not sure that tyre’s in great shape though. I think it will need replacing at some point in the relatively near future. It will do for now though. It’s not as though the wheelbarrows get used for much that’s really heavy.
One of my garlic cloves has really taken off. No idea why; I’m sure it wasn’t anywhere near this tall just a few days ago. I’m certainly not complaining though.
At the other end of the scale, I suspect all my purple pepper seeds are duds. These are most of my trays of peppers.
The purple peppers are at the back left in that second photo (plus a couple of another variety because I only had eighteen seeds). Pretty much everything else has germinated and is doing well. Of the purple peppers there is no sign whatsoever.
I have ordered some more seeds from a different supplier. Perhaps I’ll have more luck with those.
I’m a beekeeper with a strong interest in astronomy. There’s an open cluster of around one thousand stars in the constellation of Cancer known by a number of names including Praesepe, Messier 44 and The Beehive Cluster.
The latter is apparently because some people believe that it looks like a beehive. But I just can’t see it. Anyone?
