Install and fuss afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I washed out dozens of flower pots that have accumulated since I started gardening here and plan to recycle them tomorrow.  It was awful work, wet, cold and messy. It was mild enough &#8211; fifties &#8211; that I could work without a jacket, though, which made things easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took a break partway through to make and eat a not very wonderful lunch:  pasta with sauce and veg burgers.  The sauce was bland.  I added sugar and Italian seasoning to improve the leftovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This evening we saw a mouse in the living room and set out traps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve had run-ins everywhere due to &#8220;keeping proper place&#8221; issues.  I like hearing other opinions and ideas if they are backed up intelligently.  Apparently not everyone feels the same way.  Especially those who are &#8220;in authority&#8221;, either official or implied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also don&#8217;t like to be ordered around by dictators, appointed or otherwise.
