supermouseI'm supposed to be getting my finances All Sorted Out and that's failing to happen, but I should eventually get there.
The garden is full of frost damage - that mild/frost combo did an absolute number on a lot of plants. The very grey, cool weather means plants don't grow, so the mix of flowers is mildly bizarre. Insects are very, very thin on the ground. I have seen one hover fly and no butterflies at all.
Writerly research puts me in some very odd corners of the web. I'm not sure how I ended up on Sudoku Youtube though. Every evening I watch a Surrey bloke do a puzzle and it's pleasant, it's just very odd to be entertained by someone deciding if a square is a four or a seven...
I have new shoes, they fit, and they are a joy and a wonder. I think the last pair I got ten years ago. These ones are Merrel and should last a good long time. I'm debating getting a second pair so that I know what quality I have and can alternate, and not have to worry about shoes for a long, long time.
Literally just now got informed that the rent has gone up. So there's that.
Life goes on! It has fun distractions and wonderful people. If you're helping keep me sane, I am very grateful and do not take you at all for granted. Many hugs.
I hope you're all doing as well as possible. Do ay of you have any new flowers out? We've got periwinkles, the fuschias are getting ready to go, the bramble is late but getting ready to flower, the hydrangeas are doing their best and we have strawberries! On time! Well, perhaps a week later than usual.
Best wishes to those in new jobs/positions!
Also I forgot to post about my enormous peonies. I love my enormous peonies.

This rose flowers almost year round, and I keep hesitating to prune it when its in flower, and now it has half the garden and eventually I need to do something about this situation. It's beautiful, though.
