Just to show that there are tons of idiots/kids around!
Morning,sometimes it's kids, but it's the people who are supposed to be adults. Some went off at 8pm last night and it was close by from one of the neaghbours. Hubby was just about to take berry out for a wee, got in the porch, that's when they went off. Luckily berry wasn't bothered about it, but he thought that he should bring him back in.
It was all over after a few minutes,i don't know why they bother at all.

Fireworks are really bad for dogs. The idiotic neighbour like the earth shattering bomb ones.. I was too tired to think about it. It was so shaky, but as I woke up the night before at 1.20, it was still a good night sleep for me, apart from the fumes in my kitchen.

I planted out more blue allium Caeruleum, repotted another peace lily and chopped off the flowering stem of the guzmanias and amechea/bromeliad. I have about 10 of them at home now. All dotted around nearly every shingle room. I will sort out the peony seeds today. Waiting for breakfast to be served.

My Peony seeds never germinated:( . They were actuall
y my Dad's he was given some speciality seeds by a friend who 'breeds ' new species for a well know nursery (won't mention names but his is well known). They were given to him ( along with a present) for his 90th a couple of years ago, as he couldn't do it I said I would have ago:eek: I know they can take a good few years and I folllowed all the instructions........but no sign of life I'm afraid:cry:

@Upsy Daisy Strange font coming up in this post field. Any way, I think I will just put all the seeds in a sheltered and moist and warmish area in my garden and let nature takes its course. Sometimes, they might germinate and surprise you. After all, my yellow peony self seed themselves like crazy, but I don't have a big garden and I pulled them up and killed them and now the flowering season is upon us, I want to cry. Ludlowii Lutea and I should have flowers like this beauty

But I was stupid and cut all the flowering stems.. It's now too late. I am a walking disaster!
