Weeks 24-25 review, plan for week 26

[rmc28]

Week 24

• Laundered all the sorted-out clothes and then either bagged up for donation or put away for wearing
• Reconnoitered M&S, who are not currently doing the clothing drops but showed me where they will be when they are again, and decided I couldn't face John Lewis.
• Used one of the two weedkillers (the one for brambles) but the other we couldn't get the dispenser working, sigh.
• Agreed delivery of woodchips, but discovered my driveway was too narrow for the delivery vehicle.

Week 25

My neighbour very kindly allowed me to have 3 cubic metres of woodchips delivered to her driveway on Monday (she is away at the moment) so I could take my time moving it by wheelbarrow to my own driveway. I got that done mostly on Tuesday and Wednesday, around work. I did about 3/4 of the work myself, with some help from offspring and spouse. (It goes noticeably faster with two wheelbarrows and someone else trundling a barrow back and forth while I fill up the other one ... and when I can't keep up with the barrows, it's time for a break.)

Plan for week 26

• Survive the heatwave
• Use the replacement weedkiller dispenser
• Upgrade the offspring's curtains
• Attempt to freecycle old curtains
• If the weather allows, start laying weed control fabric and moving woodchip to cover it
