Weird things - in Blogland and in husband's mind!

 Something weird is going on in Blogland.  My last 2 posts have had huge amounts of page views - I don't normally check my stats, hardly ever in fact, but noticed just now that the page views for the last 2 posts were quite staggering - more than twice as many, almost triple in fact, than the norm.  I've noticed that a couple of other bloggers have said the same thing, so it's not just my blog.  What is going on?  Why would somebody (or something?!) suddenly start showing such a vast amount of interest in pretty unremarkable and mundane (well, mine is anyway) blogs?  How very odd....and slightly sinister, actually.  

Things have quietened down here over the last couple of days....until the next time, I expect.  Husband has been ok, not as sarcastic as usual, just his normal talkative and clumsy self.  He woke me up last night, shouting out "Sorry!  I hit the wall" - ironically, I hadn't heard him thumping the wall, only him shouting afterwards 😒  Once again it took me ages to get back to sleep, I hate being woken up in the night.

He's going through a phase of coming up with strange, madcap ideas - things he wants to buy, or things he wants to do or change in the garden or house.  Most of these ideas are for things that aren't necessary, or will involve too much work for very limited benefit, and when I ask him about them, he can't really explain why he wants to buy it or do it.  E.g. I noticed the other day he was looking at trolley jacks on his computer.....I asked why, he said he wanted to buy one (he had one before, it was one of the things he left behind in his shed at the last house).  "Why do you think you need one?" I asked - in case he needs to do some work underneath the car he replied.  Erm, we have RAC full cover so if any work is needed on the car, they will see to it, or take it to a garage who will do it.  And in any case, as I pointed out to him, with his age and health conditions he shouldn't be jacking up the car and getting underneath it for any reason.

He also bought a pressure washer off the internet (something else he had and left behind when we moved😠) - I asked why he needed it and he said to wash the car - he almost never washes the car, he maybe does it once a year!  "So now I'll do it twice a year!" was his reply.  He buys these things out of his own money in his own bank account, and I guess it's up to him what he spends his money on - I just think it's a waste of money.

He's talking about moving all our strawberries from one bed to another, and moving one of the raised beds to another place.....which will be a hell of a job, and for no good reason, it's perfectly fine where it is.  The only saving grace is that he'll most likely have forgotten about these things soon, so I don't think I've got any need to worry.  But he does have a tendency to do things behind my back, so there's a chance he might do something whilst I'm out for a few hours on the shopping bus trip.

The weather has definitely become autumnal - the temperature has dropped several degrees virtually overnight, we've had a bit of rain but not enough to make any significant difference to the garden as yet.  However, heavy showers are forecast for later today, and lighter showers pretty much every day for the next week, so the garden should be pleased.  It'll be a case of checking the local weather forecast and quickly doing some washing to get out between showers this week, I think.
