Gardening!
Jan. 21st, 2010 09:20 pmI concluded my wonderfully relaxing day (still not back at work...) by extensive weeding - and then by pulling up two dead trees, weeding even more, digging a big hole, and transplanting another plant to a completely new location.
I came inside completely covered in dirt, and sweating profusely, and retreated to a bubble bath of relaxingy goodness.
When I pulled out the dead trees, I discovered that the ants I keep trying to get rid of have been camping out under those trees in an attempt to stop me wiping them out. When I attacked, they panicked, and landed all over me (amongst splatters of dirt), where they promptly started BITING. (I didn't even know this sort of ant could bite. And it hurt.)
This was the other reason I really needed a bath. Only way to get lots of teeny bitey creatures off me.
I've put in an awful lot of effort this evening, over all.
Is it possible to become an avid gardener against your will?
