Very pretty.


Perfect!



Well, I'd be happy to keep everyone supplied with cake, but I'd always be in trouble for being out on the bike too much. Also good for gardening duties. I'd prefer to grow vegetables and roses and pull weeds.


Some good gravy there.




Try some reading glasses from any chemist or supermarket. You read down the line to find the right prescription. You won't believe the difference.



Hope all went well for Mrs GA.

As I work in an office my eye tests are paid for so I may as well get them tested but I have to use a computer and lots of paper so I may need to change my day to day prescription.

I think that I went via Lille, as crossing Paris is not my cup of Thé. I would also have been on slower trains. The TGVs travel too fast for enjoying the scenery.

On a more mundane note, it is too wet today for gardening. The plants that I moved yesterday will be gently watered by the steady rain.

I shall to general indoors type things, like cleaning the kitchen, and tidying, and knitting.

Well! They have just been showing the Imperial War Museum in Trafford on the TV just now. It has been a place that I had wanted to see but not now. Huge empty space with hardly any exhibits and a lot of money spent on the building and graphic designers to produce enormous pictures.
I may be a bit old fashioned in my thinking but there should be some form of middle ground between the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford which is absolutely packed and a museum with just a few exhibits.

What was the program? I'll try and watch it on catchup if possible.
However, it sounds like the program has not portrayed the museum very well because there are loads of exhibits. Yes there are large spaces and walls but lots of smaller spaces leading off the big spaces.
It is laid out in a time line which follows the history of war.
There is also a second section which has a special exhibition which changes regularly.
Always interesting, always new things to see.

I cut the connection between the mother plant and the baby spider plants today, I'll give it a week and then ifs all's well I'll pot them on into individual pots.

The weather girl just said that the weather is nothing to write home about. So I thought I would contradict her and say that it's raining.

She's perfectly right. It's damp and cold out there. I'm not going out just to post a letter.

Beautiful day, over here, but about -4C , a cold snap. But it's also just about 8:30 a.m. here.

I spotted that the Exochordia has got lots of buds. There were some seedheads still attached to the ends of the stems. I have carefully removed these and put them somewhere to dry. It is a beautiful plant so I will try growing some from seeds. They might need stratifying, as we have had a mild winter. Or does a few nights of extreme cold count as stratifying?

My usual strategy with cuttings, like Buddleia, is to keep the potted cuttings near, or even in the same pot as the original plant. Given that it will cost nil pence, I will try growing more of this plant from seed, and from cuttings.

It only stopped wazzing it down here about half an hour ago. Cats have finally decided that they wanted to go for a pootle in the garden - this morning I got yelled at because apparently it was my fault that it was raining.

Lexi excelled herself this morning. She knocked over a vase of flowers and sprigs of pussy willow that was on the dining room table and dragged part of the contents upstairs. I woke up to furry pussy willow buds all over my bedroom floor.

In other news, the switch on my bedside table lamp has broken. As the lamp has already had several run ins with feline klutzes over the years (the base is more glue than ceramic these days) I may well ditch it instead of attempting a repair. I've dragged a desk lamp out of the garage that will do for now.

Bob and Tasha are the two reasons that I do not have indoor plants. Bob thinks it is fun to push things over, and onto the floor. A messy muddle of soil and plant does not, in my opinion improve the look of my lounge.

Is he still singing.

Magic moments, when two hearts are carin'
Magic moments, mem'ries we've been sharing

I'll never forget the moment we kissed the night of the hay ride
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm while takin' a sleigh ride

I think it was the pussy willow that caught Lexi's eye. Note to self, don't put any more in a vase. Leave outside where it belongs.

Poppy used to pee in the plant pots when she was a kitten.
