Black Thumb: Engage!

I am not particularly talented when it comes to gardening, but I'm having a go. Or, really, I lose interest after a month and things get neglected. Anyway, I planted out another polystyrene box. In it went the rest of my dwarf lettuce seedlings (seven, because I can't count), four shallots (because they were still alive and we'll just see what happens), my calendula (I have never managed to see one really thrive, despite it being a virtual weed in some places), ten radish seeds (who knows if they'll even sprout) and two zucchini seeds (in the tray with everything else, temporarily, because I can't break up the garden ground until I buy a pitchfork). There is absolutely no doubt I've got everything planted too closely. Meh. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I finally straightened out my Family Payment and Medicare. But not before losing about ten hours of my life on the phone and the same in lugging Little X to Officeworks to print more paperwork - which they then rejected anyway. Four times. Honestly, most of them are complete idiots. Special thanks to Jo the supervisor from Melbourne who is not an idiot and was ashamed of how idiotic her colleagues had been. 😘

I accidentally wrote this post and didn't hit publish. Lucky you, because coming back to it a few weeks later, I cut the length of waffle by half. 😂
