It’s windier than I would like, and I’m in more pain than I would like, but I’ve got two days to attend to the garden before the rain comes, so I’m going offline and dragging my nasty arse out there.

Refilling my EDC bag means new beard oil. I generally buy mine from Salix Moon. (There is one in the US I loved, Sunstone, but you have to order it from the US, which is a pain. Though I may just do it anyway while I’m thinking about it.)
