Thursday week 5

Back to Newtown Park before breakfast. We started on the perimeter anticlockwise then did out normal run, total 3.7k. Mornings are cooler and ideal for running. The trees still have leaves and there were more people out walking than usual - maybe 6 or so couples and dogs.
We had toasted fruit buns for breakfast.
Another warm sunny day 24 degrees is a bit better than earlier this week. I have pruned the leucaena on the neighbour's fence another neglected garden bed.

Monday 20 April week 5

It has taken a few weeks to get on to the diary of the 2020 lockdown because we are so busy.
Monday morning started with a run at sunrise. Dick is pacing me and improving my speed and has come on Monday around Cotswold Hills twice now. We start the week at the top of our Highfields parkrun virtual Strava group, then Emily comes on, Marty in the afternoon.
I got another bed of the vegie garden sown with some broad beans and pea seeds I had saved in the fridge, then I got the sleeper for the last bed in position. It was nice to resolve the design with existing materials and it all looks much more tidy after the neglect of the past couple, or few, years.
I went around watering all the small trees I have planted lately.
I am still working through Asterix noting the interesting words and meanings, and getting a bit more knowledge of the Roman invasion of Gaul in 56 BC. Also reading Karl Kruselnicki's book which I have listed on Gumtree.
We are watching a thriller on TV called Capture, catching up on 6 episodes.

Saturday 18 April week 4

Our 5k run on Gowrie Tilgonda road went well. We passed Ann Marie Lyons with another woman and a girl with two dogs, a car and a delivery van. Nice quiet road to run on, starting and finishing on some corrugated gravel this time but it worked out well.
Planted out the pumpkin seedlings in the second bed of the vegie garden and prepared the third bed. I got the seedlings out of the worm farm a few weeks ago and put them in tubes. They were yellow at first and quickly turned green but in recent days they were starting to wilt and die in the tubes. They like being in the garden. I also put in some unknown pumpkin seeds off the kitchen bench.
I sold the red Dunlop pushbike in the afternoon for $20. I had spent $15 on new tubes in order to sell it but it is good to be gone and hopefully the young girl who got it will enjoy it.
I  listed the polystyrene wine racks on Gumtree.
We had a zoom meeting with Em and Lee at Happy Hour.
