ewtTuesday 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.
