    I currently have a huge stash of plant porn. I'm trying to resist, but I find circling things with a highlighter pen curiously satisfying.

    I'm still doing that Fidget ... but not ordering.  As Ma once said in a car showroom when the man had spent an hour trying to sell her a car "Oh, no I don't want to buy a car, I can't drive ..... I'm only choosing what I would have if I could drive."  image

    Its a bit like the friday night fantasy.... if I win the lottery, this is the house and land I will buy. Its a cheap dream for the price of  a lottery ticket.

    Old school report.... "would do better if  she concentrated in lessons, instead of staring out of the window and daydreaming."

    Funny thing is, a lot of those daydreams have come true.

    In the words of the song... if you never have a dream, how will you ever have a dream come true?

    Maybe I should start a fantasy thread...

    The perfect garden.  Starting with verduns climate, perfect soil, and  no weeds, slugs, or lily beetles. Followed by a run through all the best nurseries, nabbing those plants they were keeping for Chelsea. of course I'd need  a diet coke man or three to do the heavy lifting and digging....

    .......... or would that be a separate fantasy thread image

    Go on, a fantasy garden thread sounds just what we need .....................

    Morning all!  A quiet day after yesterday (large school visit to the museum then off to a scout group to teach CPR lifesaver skills). I'm sure my emails wait and then all appear at once: looks like I'll be stuck by the laptop today!

    Hope you're feeling better Wonky.

    Morning all. Hope the medical goes well, Chicky.

    Feels really early, but this would be nearly 9am in France, so it isn't. 

    Hope Wonky is feeling better today.
