way too early

[tielan]

It is "why on earth am I awake" o'clock and all is not well.

I decided I could lie in bed for another hour fighting insomnia, or I could get up and do some writing before starting on the stuff for the garden in prep for the catastrophic fire danger.

The priority is to clean up the leaves/build the bay compost pile. Water the plants. Set up protective canopies for the more delicate trees/plants. Check the chooks have shelter and water and food. Then batten down the hatches for the day. B1 plans to go somewhere with air conditioning, but I might set up space on the floor in the hallway (coolest, darkest place in the house) and just go from there.

I hope that things go well and you do not have any issues with wild fire!

Thank you! It's a real worry around here, especially when the wind picks up - and it's going to be blowing something terrible tomorrow.

Insomnia is awful.

Hope the garden work is easy helpful, and that you stay cool wherever you end up.
