Been sick with some cold or something the past few days. Sleeping lots and feeling generally blehhhhh, but now I'm wide awake at 2am.
Good stuff šš¼

am pooped already šø
That's a big enough day. Good job!
Garden
Oh the pumpkins arenāt looking good. They had to take a back seat to my health for a while and the aphids have half killed themā¦ The ants have spread them to the other plants nearby and the population exploded enough to kill many leaves.
I saw a ladybug on one of the less affected plants and gently transferred it to one loaded with aphids but the skiver flew off.
I needed to get back in to Melbcat (who is freshly home from the vet) so I didnāt even bother with soapy water. I just crushed the little shits to death by scrubbing with the palms of my hands then rinsed off under the garden tap and headed back inside to wash properly with soap.
Next year Iāll have to handle things differently to try and avoid this. But getting so sick that I couldnāt stay on them didnāt help.
Melbcat has had her solensia plus the vitamin b and her vaccine. Iām also going to have to brush her teeth at least every second day to slow the buildup (which probably wonāt come off with brushing). There are other products Iāve been recommended to look into and Iām buying the special tiny cat toothbrush in the hope itās easier to get in her mouth.
