    PINK

    PINK I love you The colour pink – just about every shade of PINK -I have recently read a blog post where someone suffering from Cancer was saying they now no longer really love the colour as it is the official Breast Cancer colour and they felt that the femininity of the colour and all we generally associate with this colour is nothing like Cancer and how it made her feel. While I can hear where she is coming from and totally respect what she says – I hope that I don’t every feel like that about PINK – especially as at the moment it seems like everything I buy…

    March

    I try to do a month to come and a mini round up of each month – I rarely succeed 🙁 I have actually started the March one but its not very flower based – so for the moment it sits in the draft box… At the moment I feel the whizzing by of the days / weeks and months stresses me somewhat everything seems to go by so quickly… everyone seems in such a rush for the next something rather than enjoying the moment – so although i am trying to resist the rush and hey look how great I am at juggling my f*ing balls – and then…

    End July

    Well weather – more eye rolling – we have had a couple of weeks of intense heat – so yup you guessed it – frazzled plants as I just couldn’t keep on top of the sun and heat where my plants were. Full sun on the packet doesn’t mean full sun at 30 degrees for several weeks. Anyway this week looks a little cooler and I WILL – AM tidying a little to re-organise the garden and hopefully get some organisation into the total chaos – I usually check everything with “him in doors” just because I do really no other reason – anyway he was out! yup out out…
