🛞🐔📱🌱 A Flat Tyre, a Drowned Phone & Seeds in the Wind

 _{<small>English version of [the original Actifit report](/@amico.sports) by [@amico.sports](/@amico.sports), published in Italian.</small>} Another **busy day**: a tyre to fix, hens to wake up, a nap to catch up on, a field to sow and a phone to resuscitate. Grab a coffee, here's how it went. ☕👇 ## 🛞 First stop: the tyre shop The morning started at the **tyre shop**, to repair a **flat tyre**. Tyres always go flat like this: never on days off, never when you have time, always when the to-do list is already long. Tyre fixed: first item crossed off, only nine left (plus the ones on their way). 🔧😅 ## 🐔 Rise and shine, ladies: field trip! Then it was the **hens'** turn: wake-up call! They didn't need to be asked twice and headed **straight out into the stubble field**, with the confidence of someone who booked the all-inclusive buffet. No vegetable garden to raid here, just space, stubble and freedom: they enjoyed it as if they had invented it. 🌾 [](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/amico.sports/23w2mFWvpLRVXWBtttpxzqtzV1rDDDkRTGSdE2dKy2TMg31uggCbFqySox7s69REtd1FM.jpg) _{A young lady out in the middle of the stubble field, hills behind her} ## 🌧️ Rain, my favourite boss Then came the **rain**. For anyone living in the countryside, rain is an official permission slip to do nothing: I took it literally and used it to **catch up on some overdue sleep**. 😴 Sleep debt never gets fully paid off, but a nice instalment, with raindrops on the roof as background music, is paid gladly. Zero guilt: nature had set the table for a nap, and it would have been rude to decline. ## 🌱 In the evening: seeds in the wind In the evening, armed with seeds and optimism, I went down to the field to **broadcast-sow** the **organic green manure seeds**. For the uninitiated: **green manure** (*sovescio*) is a mix of seeds (cereals and legumes) that you sow and then dig back into the soil, so the ground gets fed with greenery instead of bags. And **broadcast sowing** means the solemn gesture of the sower of old: wide arm swing, throw, then trust luck and the wind. Hence the title: **seeds in the wind**, quite literally. 🌬️ [](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/amico.sports/23wqrog4bBYY34YAohqGFbZXDTtdCHeNeLAHF7wGTWjCdTNSd5fjecyGLWare5V2cmPQu.jpg) _{Close-up of the mix: a wheat grain and a legume} The field, after all, is also @choko.shock's training track, and with his green ball he reminds everyone how to cross a meadow: at full speed, head held high and asking nobody's permission. 🐕💨 [](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/amico.sports/EoK6Q1T1nQLsgzTq37hhxwv3CXzhMY2qAhqsMBSJqzXWU26iyKi1FiWYZNnoWwFdy96.jpg) _{@choko.shock running through the field with his green ball} ## 📱 Chronicle of a dive foretold And now the less poetic part. **The day before yesterday**, while pouring the **soaked seeds into the strainer**, my **phone fell right under the water jet**. The seeds were supposed to get a bath, the phone wasn't, but nobody had explained that to the phone. 📱💦 [](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/amico.sports/EpXKYeNtd4XfFTsWirNtqYcV1PJ1A9sgQft83EMmw7gNg8L1AffoqFbCpBVQ9B7LJb5.jpg) _{The seeds after soaking: the only ones allowed to get wet} Since then I've been using a **spare phone**, and **yesterday I lost quite a bit of time reconfiguring it**, between apps, logins and settings: an experience I only recommend to my enemies. As for the drowned phone, it's now resting **inside a pile of rice**, hoping to draw the moisture out of the **camera**. Sceptics say rice does very little; luckily, the rice hasn't read the comments. 🍚 Today at Ca' Paradiso everything was soaked: the seeds in water, the field under the rain, the phone in rice and me in sleep. Fingers crossed (and grains too). 🤞 --- **Your turn:** has your phone ever fallen into water? What was your remedy (rice, silica gel, prayers)? And have you ever tried green manure in your garden? 👇  --- ## 📚 Latest from @caparadiso, @amico and @amico.sports | | | |:---:|:---| | [](/@caparadiso/due-scintille-divine-e-un-registratore-acceso-nascono-i-semi-di-satsang) | **[🌱 Due scintille divine e un registratore acceso: i Semi di Satsang](/@caparadiso/due-scintille-divine-e-un-registratore-acceso-nascono-i-semi-di-satsang)**<br>_{@caparadiso · an hour of satsang with @candygio, in 7 seeds} | | [](/@caparadiso/kyh-know-your-hiver-a-proposal-for-an-opt-in-verified-human-badge-on-hive) | **[KYH – Know Your Hiver](/@caparadiso/kyh-know-your-hiver-a-proposal-for-an-opt-in-verified-human-badge-on-hive)**<br>_{@caparadiso · a proposal for an opt-in "verified human" badge} | | [](/@amico/white-team-vs-red-team-the-garden-guardian-mushroom-risotto-and-pumpkins) | **[🐔🪑🎃 White Team vs. Red Team: The Garden Guardian, Mushroom Risotto & Pumpkins](/@amico/white-team-vs-red-team-the-garden-guardian-mushroom-risotto-and-pumpkins)**<br>_{@amico · the garden guardian, mushroom risotto and pumpkins} | | [](/@amico/20-kg-di-semi-e-una-regina-addormentata-si-vz1btoye) | **[20 kg di semi e una regina addormentata](/@amico/20-kg-di-semi-e-una-regina-addormentata-si-vz1btoye)**<br>_{@amico · the Garden of Eden sowing day, in Italian} | | [](/@amico.sports/actifit-amico-sports-20261008t080726363z) | **[🐔🪑🎃 Squadra bianca contro squadra rossa: il guardiano dell'orto, risotto ai funghi e zucche](/@amico.sports/actifit-amico-sports-20261008t080726363z)**<br>_{@amico.sports · white hens vs. red hens, risotto and pumpkins} | | [](/@amico.sports/actifit-amico-sports-20261007t072402043z) | **[🐔🥗🎬 Missing Pieces, Rebel Hens & a Four-Legged Debut](/@amico.sports/actifit-amico-sports-20261007t072402043z)**<br>_{@amico.sports · missing pieces, rebel hens and Choko's debut} | [//]:# (!worldmappin 43.579551 lat 12.625995 ) [//]:# (!pinmapple 43.57944 lat 12.62611 long d3scr) _{Posted via [HiveSuite](https://hivesuite.app/@amico/a-flat-tyre-a-drowned-phone-seeds-in-t-hxfpi0xh)}
