Tuesday I put together sofas, then went to see ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pfy in Leytonstone. Found a two foot square double-glazed window between the station and the house, snaffled it on the way home - will use it for a solar dehydrator or a solar still or a solar oven, not sure which. I think it's a bit big and heavy for an oven lid though. Also found a weird tree with jagged leaves and with flowers that look like some sort of squash or cucumber. But they're mostly annuals I thought. One of the flowers has fruit developing. Must photograph, and try to get it identified, because if it's perennial and edible I want one! Went home to Isle of Cats nice and early so I could get up for my 8am busking pitch.
Alarm went off, I ignored it. Woke up at half 8, too late for busking. Went back to sleep. Woke up again at half eleven, which is when I needed to leave to be on time for my mid-day appointment in Kentish Town. I was only fifteen minutes late, but frazzled and tired and hadn't eaten yet so my 14.00 busking pitch was off as well as I was getting food into me. Did some errands, did some teaching, had a long conversation with $mother_of_student. Went home, for a quiet night in; quinoa with tomato mushroom sauce for dinner, also the first passionflower is blooming and I ate my first strawberry from my plants, it was delicious. Shehecheyonu etc. I will have up to four more. Next year the plants might do a little better. I'm very tempted by these strawberry tubs. Also, Tower Hamlets council is "selling" composting stuff at £5 each for big composters and wormeries, limit two per household, so I might get another compost thing and a wormery. Wormeries are neat because they can take pretty much all food waste (but not citrus peels, iirc). Although I'd also like to try bokashi composting at some point.
And I ended up coming back to Enfield, rather late, for reasons I have no particular wish to go into here. Suffice to say that I came gladly, and without hesitation would do the same for any good friend in a similar situation.
But I forgot to bring my horn, so I didn't busk this morning. Arse Thorns. I had a good long sleep again though. Maybe if this keeps up I will eventually feel less tired.
Maybe I should open a book on whether I actually manage it tomorrow.
To do today:
-lunch withmstevens. I see my housemate so little we have to do lunch. Oops.
-a zillion little e-mails to various people (parents re: money, dragondreads lady, lecturer who marked a composition but I haven't had the result yet, head of student services,harlicat who I hope to see next week).
-check Trinity mail and put out any fires
-finish washing Aikido kit, hang it to dry
-pack the other stuff I'll need for Somerset this weekend (not much as I'm only going overnight)
-phone Torkjell who has been trying to get in touch with me for a few days
-book some busking for next week
-sewing (Speshul Sekrit, I'm not telling you what it is!)
-practising
-rehearsal in Covent Garden for the 1st July concert. I have to leave at 17.30 for this, so all the stuff I need to do has to get done between when I get home from lunch and then.
Tomorrow: two busking pitches and a long trainride to Somerset. Saturday I'm in Ki Federation headquarters all day, then back to London late evning so I can teach all day Sunday. Anything I don't get done today has to wait until Monday. Pants.

They do dry out FAST!
The good thing about your one is I think it comes with a net kit too.
I also ate my first strawberry this morning ... mmmmmmmmmm!

We need to do more of this.
Solar oven
Also you may not need all the framework around the double glaze part. Removing it would lighten it.
