Finally attacked the back yard jungle.  Mulberries and trees of heaven (the ultimate garbage tree) have been sprouting everywhere. Can't get the roots out or even saw through the stems so am thinking of dumping bleach on them instead. Will bag things up eventually but we have another air quality alert on the go, while temps are going back to the humid high 20s/ 70s tomorrow. Thus will doubtless sit on sofa with mysteries until things improve.

Have gone back to my heavy-duty anti-inflams for the knee. Acupuncture and massage work on it, cupping does not. Am also fighting a desire to buy alcohol, either from the store or through delivery. I do not need alcohol even if I really want it.

Slept with the window fan last night and was oddly cold. Probably shouldn't try it tonight, says my sore throat and cough.

Often the wisest thing to do. Hope the knee is better by the time you read this x

Thank you. Oddly enough, it's much better. You have to mistreat bodies to make them behave and evidently yesterday's gardening was what was required.

It's the humidity that makes heat unbearable. It sounds as though you have made some progress though. But some restful time relaxing with mysteries is always good.

Humidity is unkind to joints, certainly. But also the air quality which stopped me running the window AC last night. Made do with fans but still coughed and ached. I hope today will be better.
