Wicked weeds and Evil Owls

I was supposed to be squiggling this post upstairs on the Big Mac. But once again the demon of procrastination has possessed me.
So I'm still on the tiny tweet stone.
Monday was a public holiday so I indulged in one of those slack "Lurk around the Lair" days
Not least because I was at a gorgeous garden festival on Sunday so I had leaf babies needing to be planted.
After the driest autumn on record,we finally got rains so it was the perfect opportunity to get planting
These days sunset is around 17.30 so that leaves very little time on the days I'm working
I'm saving Saturday afternoon for the last 6 specimens.
Mainly hakeas and one grevillea
This evening Duolingo cheated me out of not one but two 15 minute double points sessions.
I'm so mercenary that aside from the music course, every lesson has to be either earning double points or getting a double points freebie at the end of it.
I first claimed the Early Bird reward by clicking on the shop page.
I got the egg timer, the purple page and everything only to discover that a nasty "race the clock" blitz got me only 40 instead of the 80 points I expected
I then finished a level, got the same purple parade but once again the Duo goblins didn't get the memo.
I know that finishing certain daily quests randomly gets you a 15 min freebie but the Early Bird, Night Owl & level ups were always guaranteed.
It's all very weird.
Even stranger than the evil green owl's aversion to cheese.
Tomorrow I'm off to the clutter bug meeting.
Maybe I will finally get around to a proper post about it.
