Smoke makes an at home day just that : September 7 2023

Turned into a busy day ahead of the photographer arriving tomorrow. Moved all my stuff into the garage and got it organised enough to be able to move around. This will be my work locale over the next two months as I clear boxes of stuff not needed. Added in a few tasks cleaning outside - window ledges, water tanks. Strimmed the weeds outbif the front lawn. Then fertilised the front lawn - hoping that spring weather will be warm enough for the grass to grow

Was aiming to get out for an orchid walk. Smoke started to build from a hazard reduction burn 15 kms from home in Ku-ring Gai Chase NP. Burning over 300 hectares. Not going out in that.

Smoke eased off a bit and did more yard tidy up

My wife came home from nursery with plants for the front flowers beds. Pla Ted those out after moving a fee things - aloe to the right and geranium in the pot

Should hold good through the open houses.

Somehow got the 10,000 steps done between the front garden and back garden and garage. No big walks needed.

Wife also bought oysters for dinner. That for me into mini-tapas for dinner. Salt and pepper squid, chorizo, halloumi cheese, charred capsicum and patatas bravas. Small but with great flavours. Worked well

Fab colours and great flavours

Labelling on the salt and pepper squid struck me as quite crazy. Squid fished in Peru, shipped to China for prep and then onto Australia for packaging. Worst past - the Trayning not recyclable according to the label. And then they talk to us about a climate emergency.

Turned into a late night. Was inputting my Actifit post and slid past midnight and not published yet. Made a cut and paste first level recovery post - took a while. Will focus on the clock better from now on
