If anyone's looking for a stupidly large decoration but didn't think the alien was quite right for you, there is a new option on Facebook you might like to consider.

Is everyone's fire insurance paid up? Cos at work we've had TWO burned out trucks in our back alley so far today. One was a furniture mover's truck (this morning) and now the fire alarm went off cos the next door block of flats had a small truck with a burning engine stuck in the garage door. Alarm was stupid loud too - had to finish up phone calls cos neither one of us could hear the other over the noise. Boss now gone down to bound and plunge and lose his temper. Not that that will accomplish much.
My garage smells like poo? Noticed it last night when I came home and itโs still there today (and stronger). Going to have to clean it out over long weekend and find the source. Couldnโt see any animal crap on the ground. No stray cat could have gotten in, what else could it be?
A phantom shitter!
Human, dog and cat shit are very distinguishable from each other so if you can rule those out that leaves possum or rat. Or perhaps something has died in there.

Do you have anything which can soothe the angst of uncertainty?

Did a solid day of uni stuff. Made essential progress on the easiest stuff.
Next up is time to be data wizard, start generating plots, and when that all feels like too much I shall start with the easiest bit of writing: the method...
But that's for next time. No supervisor meet next week, top priority is to clear my work pile before I fly off. Gonna just take all my days away as carers leave I think.
Meanwhile I have bought a decent stockpile of ready made food to last me a while, between that and stuff I've already frozen and 11 days away, I don't think I'll need to cook til 10 May. All according to keikaku
Garden ramble: Aphocalypse
Iโd been letting the garden coast while unwell and was aware of a bad infestation of aphids on the worst affected plantโฆ left it because I had bigger fish to fry. Came out today and all the potted jack be littles were absolutely covered.
Spent ages scrubbing and wiping the leaves down with soapy water. The point for delicacy had passed so instead of spraying the soapy water I was scrubbing the leaves on both sides like dirty dishes and rinsing them like a salad. The dousing with moisture will absolutely encourage the mildew and the residual dish soap may harm the plants but I just had to get the pest burden down quickly. I also fed them to help replace what the pests took.
Some leaves were already dying - those got snapped off and immersed to drown the load of aphids on them (so they couldnโt just go and climb back on - or rather be carried back on by the ants farming them).
Iโll have to either plant a different variety next time or seriously plan out the disease and pest control. Organic and heirlooms seem to need a bit of attention. I saw one ladybug but honestly the rummaging and soapy water might deter it.
I donโt see a great outcome for these plants if I canโt keep this in check. At this point the aim is to keep them kicking just until the most mature fruits ripen.
The ones in ground and the golden nuggets are also affected but not as badly.
I left them as I needed to get back in to attend to Melbcat and the magpie water had just run dry.
