From today, I will be using my remaining holiday days to have Fridays off for the rest of the year leading to the fortnight off over Xmas and New year.

I'm not going to be doing much with these 3-day weekends beyond winterising the garden, doing a few household jobs and reading etc, but that's pretty much the point as far as I am concerned.

What do you do to winterize the garden? We don't get snow or much frost where I live, so I'm curious how it's done elsewhere.

With our current one, it really isn't a lot - it is more taking the the garden furniture apart and getting in the shed and that kind of thing really, although Mrs Greyshuck is going for a bit of winter planting this year, so there are a couple of cold-frames that I will be building for some of the seedlings - partly from the temperature, partly from grazing deer etc.

We are very unlikely to get much snow - or even too much cold, given the climate situation - but it will probably be below zero some of the time and we''ll definitely get rain if nothing else so we will need to protect some things from that.

I'm working on a project with a friend at work this weekend! It's a boring project but I'm really excited to work with a friend

I designed and built a very simple electric friction drive for my old bicycle, and I'm taking it out for its inaugural test ride this weekend. It's small and simple, fits the elegant utilitatian aesthetic of the bike without altering it, and should make my commute a lot easier. I'm really proud of it.

I have a day off on Saturday, and I've already declared it a "do nothing" day. I'm picking up cat treats and catnip/silvervine, have my comfy leggings washed and ready, and informed my manager that the only way I'll be coming in is if a deity decides to reveal themselves at the store and requests my audience specifically, both on video and in writing, in triplicate.

It's going to be a nice, restful day of stoned snuggles and maybe some nipped-up Baby Battlebox matches(they love getting all hyped up, bouncing into their cardboard boxes, and wrestling).
