And in an aside...

The Practical Reinventor is active in a couple of community groups.  With the new social distancing regulations (are they regulations or directives, or what?  One wonders, but they do seem to be enforceable, even if they're not law as such) the groups can't meet. 
As well as not meeting, the groups can't really do much.  In Western Australia, the local councils have cancelled all bookings of public space, put closed signs on playgrounds, and the police will shout at groups of more that two people by drone.  It is most distressing.
So we've taken to zoom.  In the middle of tonight's zoom discussion about holding onto our sanity, the Creative Reinventor wanders past from the shower.  In his altogether.  Rather derailing the discussion.

Time at home

With the coronavirus crisis limiting life, the reinventors spend considerable time at home.  It might be autumn officially, but today it is 37 degrees.  The garden is wilting.  The bees hum very slowly. 
Several weeks ago, lovely new neighbours asked us to look at our chook pen.  They'd cleaned up the back part of their yard to put in a shiny new shed.  Our chook pen was on an embarrassing lean over the boundary.
So we rehomed the chooks and tore it down.  Which immediately created about 12m2 of new veg garden space.
That's got potatoes, broadbeans, snow peas, sunflowers, rocket, and an assortment of other seeds and self-sown seedlings busily growing.
Jodie the Neurotic Kelpie is fascinated with the new smells.
