This weekend was pretty good for that sort of thing, I think. I finally got around to putting all the various bits that go onto bicycles onto the relevant bicycles; fenders on both my and

suzimoses's bicycles (and I actually found some that will fit with only five minutes of whittling at parts with an x-acto knife, which is a distinct improvement over what I'd previously found), and a mirror on hers, and a luggage rack on mine, and I remounted the rear light onto the luggage rack, where it turned out to fit considerably better than I had been expecting. Almost in a "that was made to fit like that" sort of way, even. It's most pleasing.

I also got around to extracting the morning-glory tendrils from the garden -- the front of our lawn is a mixed flower/vegetable garden, and there's a short chain-link fence around it that is becoming a morning-glory hedge. The hedge had done a remarkable job of taking over the first three feet or so of the garden on the side where it's reasonably full, as well as sending runners all sorts of places. So I folded the thick bit back over the fence, and then on the side where there's just barely starting to be a hedge, I collected as many long runners as I could, which was quite a few, and wove them into the fence on that side so it can become more of a hedge.

And I made a mental note to keep the thick side pruned or folded back rather more thoroughly, because gracious.

And today

tiger_spot came over and helped me clean my office, and while it is still cluttered to a rather annoying extent, it at least has a clean floor and the clutter is more neatly stacked. And there are not lots of books all stacked through the clutter, as those have been fished out and placed on shelves.
