Oh, blowing dandelion puffy heads to see what the time is.
I bought my son an exquisite paperweight in which a dandelion seed head had been enclosed in acrylic ,forever.
How on Earth it was done-?
In a French town,the name of which escapes me but is on the ‘“Champagne Route” ,in the market square is a lovely fountain ,a ball of many many small jets ,all split into many tiny jets,for all the world like a giant dandelion seed head .
You can tattoo yourself with dandelion sap, it dries brown.
Turned out a lovely sunny afternoon , after a nice start then some rain .
Changed the throws on the soft furniture in my little lounge ,could have got them washed and dry !
Vaced and saw a pin in the carpet ,could not get it out so got pliers ,then could not get up!
What a laugh.
Spoke with neighbour ,on phone ,we had a laugh ,each recounted the one and only time we were the worse for wear after a drink or two!
I ended up in a Chiropodist’s ,she told her boss exactly what she thought of him !
No idea what to have for tea,plenty in so no problem really.
Booked taxi for tomorrow for eyes, my son is not well again.
Repotted a cactus ,one of those that has flowers at the end of the stalks which are in tiers .little buds appear on the leaves.
Christmas Cactus.
My friend from church bought it for me oooh fourteen or so years ago .
I phoned one Christmas to see how she was ,she preferred to be alone but she always came for New Year .
She said she had fallen and did not feel very well, her foot was totally black .
She would not phone an ambulance so I said I would then!
She decided to phone 111,and of course they sent an ambulance and she died two days later .
I often think I will phone her then—— no,can’t .
What a lot of hard work you do in your gardens ,so many flowers .
My alliums are up but not fully open as yet.
I also have some mixed sized ones in pots ready to plant out but the squirrels
have been burying peanuts in their shells in the pots!
Nasturtiums at last showing little leaves , and the Captain Sir Tom Rose is very healthy ,good strong shoots.
Well must get on, empty vac etc and think about tea.
A cuppa first though.
Cheerio everyone ,look after yourselves.
Viktoria.
