Got woken up at 4:21am by a giant rat or cat or possom or hantu or something in the roof. Should have recorded the horror movie worthy scratching and chewing/chomping noises but I was annoyed about being woken up. J went to investigate but couldn’t see anything, said he was going to put ratsac in the roof, said he should make sure it was actually rats first as it sounded too big to be a rat. Now everything is running late and I’m tired.

Still been doing these (and failed last night’s cross swap x_x XD), just haven’t posted as a combo of stupidly busy last few weeks and not wanting to soley be posting hive puzzles as fun as they are. I also love that there’s a lot more little hive games.

gravel clearing

Wednesday, 13 May 2026 @ 7:55pm

Today’s gardening efforts, clearing out gravel from under one of the aquaponics grow beds without hitting my head.

mothers day

Monday, 11 May 2026 @ 10:17am

Yesterday was a Hallmark card day (Mother’s Day). There was a very nice card and some flowers. I’m going to attempt to dry these later.

I forgot to get a photo of dinner (probably best chicken Youngest has made to date) but not dessert!

bucket o rocks

Monday, 4 May 2026 @ 9:13pm

black bucket on dirt ground strewn with more gravel

All recent plans were thrown (weekend interruption was great though!). I was meant to show off the start of a plane but I haven’t gotten past the cube, so I’m showing off my gardening efforts for the day instead. My back and legs hurt. So many rocks, don’t even know where they all came from. I better be able to make a path or something when I pick them all up XD
