Just because I spent quite a while last Monday putting 28kg of “weed & feed” on some of the church lawns, you could have guessed really couldn’t you that it was bound not to really rain very much all week despite the forcast saying that it would. So today I have spent the best part of 3 hours watering it all in before any more of the grass gets scorched, plus watering in the new 14kg I put down today (just to be on the safe side)! You can guarantee now that it will rain pretty much all day tomorrow!
Thank you for those who have been praying for me. It is appreciated. I’m still in the middle of working through all sorts of emotional stuff. It’s not at all easy and is also very tiring but I think it really will be worth it in the long run! I’m also tired because I have ideally more tutoring than I would like but I took an extra student on because I know that in June I will stop working with another student ( she’ll have taken her exams) so it seemed wise to take on a new one when asked, so that I’m not under the amount of hours I need later on! I guess I have to accept that I can’t just expect the next student to appear (so to speak) the very week I finish with a previous one. There is bound at times to be some overlap! I am enjoying the tutoring still, and really happy with one of my students in particular who is making significant and exciting progress despite his special needs, it’s just that it is a bit relentless! Basically I’m pretty tired all round and also struggling to get all the housework done that I would like.
In other news I think I may have been poisoning myself ( a bit at least). Last week I kept getting the taste of “weed & feed” in my mouth on and off, despite only having used it on Monday. I finally decided (by Saturday) that it was problaby reoccuring each time I used my car and was likely to be the new bag of weed and feed I bought last Tuesday that was still in the boot! The bag itself wasn’t split but I think it was next to a bag that had, so maybe was covered ina lot of weed and feed dust. So I have now a) wiped down the steering wheel and geat stick and handbrake in the car, b) removed the offending bag of weed and feed and spread it on the lawn (wearing a face mask, which must have looked a bit OTT but was better than breathing in more dust), c) left my car doors and boot open for an hour or so to hopefully blow out any stray dust! If all else fails I may have to actually vacuum inside the car! Not such an easy task when you a) live in a flat and b) have a boot permanently full of gardening equipment! So does anyone know the antidote to “weed and feed” ingestion? I wonder what I would find out if I googled for it!
