Miscellaneous

A mish mash of all sorts of things to be doing today, from paying bills to arranging my car's first service since I've had it as well as the daily looking for jobs routine.

After I've done all the mundane stuff I spend a bit of time in the garden where I finally get around to planting some seeds, pretty much the same variety as last year's harvest with sunflowers and a mixture of herbs and a few flowers as well, but they are all potted up and basking in the greenhouse now.

Doing the above got me to thinking about whether the local garden center would have any jobs so I take a trip out in the car and hope for the best. As it happens they don't have any jobs at the moment, so in order to not make the whole effort wasted I pick up a fancy bird feeder and a cast iron hook to hang it on, as well as some blue and black flowers which will look nice if they actually germinate.

Back home and I do a bit more paper work, post a letter and then settle down to do some work for my parents. One of their computers blew up in the office and of course it was the PC with all the forms on it that they use daily, and typically they hadn't taken a back up, ever. So I'm recreating all of those form now for them, and whilst I make a fair bit of progress, not enough to warrant a pat on the back and "well done" by a long shot.
