20.08.2022 Harvest is over.

 ~~

 Saturday 20th 62F/17C. Calm, overcast with occasional brightness. Up at 6.30 after a very restless night upstairs being chewed by gnats. 

 7.45. Time for a walk. 75F/24C indoors.

 8.50 66F. A walk to the lanes in very mild conditions. Then a shortcut, back across the harvested prairie. To reach the top of the tiny hill. I could then take some snaps of the area from a slightly raised viewpoint. Including of the prairie itself.

 No real plans for today. It is increasingly sunny despite the forecast for a mostly cloudy day. I could use the newly restored pickaxe to break up the crumbling "patio." Then  I'd need some self compacting gravel. To make it level and safe to cross. Ideally using a plate vibrator to flatten and stabilise it. Followed by washed gravel for a firm walking surface. Paving slabs would just attract ants. They own the place.

 An afternoon in the observatory capturing pictures of the sun.

 Dinner was oven baked fish fingers with baked beans, tinned tomatoes and a roll. I forgot to photograph it.
