I planned to do nothing, and yet I did something. My conscience kept whispering — leave it, take a break — but my hands were already digging around the internet. And I found it! From the Chinese sellers — of course. A bit cheap-looking, but it works exactly as it should. Chinese inventions never disappoint. Now I’ve got a brand-new, fantastic system for watering my pots! Even the neighbor is looking at it with envy — or disbelief, hard to tell.

The whole setup still needs a few tweaks, which I noticed after the first test run. For example, one part acts as if it were made out of play dough, though maybe that’s just my enthusiasm talking. I have a feeling the coming days will be just as busy as this Sunday — full of sweat, curses, and satisfaction. Because really, nothing beats watering your plants with a system that looks like it was built by a mad engineer on holiday.
