Saturday 21st 55F/12.8C [6.30] Continuous sunshine. Reaching 24C/75F.
Up at 6am after a quiet night. I am trying to control another nosebleed. Not helped by a runny nose.
The pond in the greenhouse needs some gravel. The village gravel man has nothing suitable. So it looks like a drive into the city. Where the fish keeping shop sell sacks of the stuff. At a hundred times the price of the local sand and gravel man. What is worse is that it still has to be rinsed. As it still contains a lot of dust from the machines at the quarry which bags it.
I also need a hose adapter for my kitchen mixer tap. It is only a few meters to the pond through the internal kitchen window. I could rig up a length of plastic guttering. Straight from the tap to the pond. Or a gutter down pipe and bend. A hose would be easier, more efficient and safer in the longer term. There are still about a hundred floor bricks to move and stack somewhere else.
8.00 Returning from a 36 minute walk to the lanes. A cool start but too warm at the end. The weekend traffic was very light.
9.30 Leaving for the city in the Morris. To buy some gravel. I researched online and found a wide range of opinions on the use of gravel. For and against. I prefer gravel.
