⛲⛲ 12 / 09

  ⛲⛲........ the Eternal Blue .... a little haze off in the South or SE

blueberry tea ..... to hydrate but coffee is burbling

cloudiness built in over the last hours. sunny but way less blue

for a change, I put together a ' Japanese ' curry. the seasoning paste or cube is the Japanese part, ' medium hot ' but I reduced the size of the paste mould that got put in. so, just right
I used thin beef roll and onion to begin the stir fry. Slow. Next potato strips and carrots were microwaved fro 3 - 4 min. Add the veg in and let bubble, adding water for several minutes
I scooped out some hot water from the pan and dissolved the paste / mould carefully.

On adding the now liquid flavour, a good stir then simmer for some minutes. Flavour coats the veg and meat, all the while the whole mixture thickens
Rice was ready and curry rice bowl, it is. Quite well done
Exercise finished as well

🚁 number 9 in septumber

    🚁  ...... coffee and typing. the view is gray and threatening - perhaps, 24 h of rain chance

I hemmed a bit and covered the new re gapping of the stone blocks. I figured that a slow wetting is better than a downpour. And I thought giivng the sand mix time to settle was good

Aha, a trip to Walmart. Big, big store.

🚆 the eighth day

  🚆 ....... of septembrinus. Ah, Eternal Blue and green and growing ...... Coffee and typing

Looking out on the view. the implements and bags and buckets of gravel, sand etc are put away.
I mixed topping concrete patch and sand 3 / 1. Going for a mix that hardens a bit and prevents weeds from using the gaps as a nutrient medium and home. The mix should spread easily [ yes ]. Harden slightly too.

We shall see said the Zen Master

The de structure of a flower bed. The raised stonework is flat. Rough maybe but flat. The look is decorative holding a garden baby carriage. However, there are plastic flower pots and small orange cones delineating the corners. 
We wait for settling or hardening or shifting [ please , NO ]

In winter, I hope that shovelling will be more efficient for the crew [ not me ] The boys may bring in the snowblower now that the area is open. And push all the snow over the lawn and not leave a mound waist high in front of the window, here.
As well, there is a puddle that forms at the NE corner of the flower bed [ low spot ]. When I lifted some blocks, I dug down two feet and used large gravel and fine gravel to create a dry well [ I hope ] hoping that the water now has a place to go.

  🚚 ... the journey to here and now.  8 AM - awakening starts 
9 AM eggs, garlic toast, bacon and coffee at the Q ' 
10 AM quick farewell and off for home
11 AM somewhere on the # 401 heading E and to T.O. traffic medium busy and flowing

12 noon and some, returning MT s at the beer store  and ordering Church s chicken for EX meal sometime this aft

1 PM and some sharpening spade bits that had been used and abused. Very rough effort, and the wear was noticeable on the bevel. I can now see the unlikely possibility of resetting the blade. Ah, ' the struggle is the glory '

2:20 P, and exercise complete. sweat galore and purging of toxins [ yeah, sure ]

plenty of water and lemon - rehydrate in progress

Alright ! the view is sunny and green - Eternal Blue
