Managed my 5k this morning. Back was a bit tight still from the weekend gardening throw-out, so took it easier....except that I then ended up getting my best split. Still a minute or two off my best from pre-pandemic, but getting there. Doggo having a good rest now.

I finally got to sleep at 6am, at least for a couple of hours. I know that I bought some things on Amazon at about 5am for the life of me I can't remember the specifics of what I bought. I know I bought some wax melts but I forget which flavours. Wait here I'll go check what I bought, don't move.
Edit: ok so I have bought some replacement filters for my espresso machine, nice. The 3 lots of wax melts I bought are: Sandalwood Vanilla, Peony Bouquet (wtf is this?), and Vanilla, Patchouli & Sandalwood. Should be interesting.
Not quite sleep deprived as you but I did buy a bunch of vacuum bags/filters while dreadfully tired last night and now I don't know why because I'm afraid they might not get here before I leave...
Leave? Are you moving house? I know you mentioned you're finishing up at work. Or are you getting them delivered to work?
Going overseas again lol. Three weeks back "home" to Singers this time, leaving mid next week. It's a relief not having to think about booking and accruing leave
Sounds nice! Hope it's a great trip and visit
It gets a bit hot working in the full sun out there. It's lovely in the shade, though.
I've got nearly half the soil moved and have ordered another batch tomorrow. I'll schedule a complete collapse day on Thursday, I'm really not used to this much physical work. I'm using some cheap metal edging for the sides of the raised beds, and am making a bamboo scaffolding around it to both support the sides and stop them bowing, and to allow me to put some shade over the beds in summer. It's going to work fairly well, but it's tough putting it together because all the bits want to fall over and it's not very stable. It would go much better with another set of hands to hold things, but neither Miss Meow or Mr Woof are up to the task.

The soil has arrived. While I was waiting I put down some cardboard and mulch in the front yard and got a bit of weeding done. Now I have to dig myself out - I can just get around it to leave if I go throught the garden bed, but the driveway is blocked so the car is on the street until it's done.
Stressed out and can't sleep sadly. Work is doing my head in....
I'm watching the first episode of the David Beckham documentary - the scenes when he's being sent off during the Argentina match is giving me PTSD from when I saw the moment live with my brother. We were such big fans and to see it play out was devastating - we were just yelling at the TV
