Diary planning to start Wednesday morning.

The next month or so is looking complicated. I need to balance school plays, leaver assemblies and sports days with the ongoing OCD situation in the chaos of the South Lambeth Road flat.

Throw in the start of the @surreycricket t20 season and my google Cal has been colour-coded to confuse even the the most extreme OCD organiser.

Put simply: if the flat is finished then we are fine. If not then I am in for a month of hit and run working trips between S Ldn and bloody Essex.

Oh dear.

I allowed myself to relax a little by logging on for a heavy run of work shifts.

The external security issue from a few days ago is still slowing down the various processes and tools.

Plan B’s and C’s has got us through.

My Gutter Man came round late in the afternoon. He got out his VERY BIG ladder and removed some gunk from my pipes.

Cheers, Mr Gutter Man.

I cracked on with hacking down the sticky thing at the side of the house. It was looking most regal until the rain storm of Tuesday left it drooping.

The rest of the garden got a good seeing to as well. We’ve reached #peaklawn season. The back garden had the second mowing of the week.

Saucy.

The first raspberries are starting to ripen.

And so it begins.

I’m hoping that I won’t be around to enjoy them. Fingers crossed that the South Lambeth Road flat is finished on time.

I’ve got another 5am start with a hit and run in the morning.

And yep - I have already voted.

Hey hoe, etc.
