Passage No. 1 – The Leaf-Blower Canticle
Another task done.
I’ve prepped the passageway for summer by using the leaf blower to send every unwanted atom of dust out into the garden.
Leaf-blown the patio area next to the conservatory.
Cleaned all the conservatory windows.
Tidied the bike-shed lean-to.
Collected up all the bramble cuttings from last week.
Dug a car-sized patch of garden for onions and carrots.
Planted left-over trays of hanging-basket-type flowers in the rockery.
Shifted all winter-project timbers and Dexion brackets down to the garden shed.
Planted rows of seeds (on tape) alongside the greenhouse.
Put up a bird-feeder on a redundant clothes-line pole.
Serviced a PC for a customer.
Mended a donated / recycled laptop, now suitable for sale.
Re-installed Windows 10 on another laptop — now ready for sale.
Given elderly customer Christian’s Linux laptop a free service and update.
Took some more pics of the moon (in daylight this time) — and renewed the garden-shed roof.
Beach Cottage, early summer.
The first serious skirmish of the year against entropy:
the hum of the blower, the scent of wet timber,
and the satisfaction of momentary order.
Each act of tidying is a brief victory. Tomorrow the wind will scatter the dust again — but for one bright hour, order ruled the garden.
