It's been raining for most of the day, but good for the wallflowers that I've planted so far.All the same colour. Cloth of gold.

Corr! The aster blooms are fabulous. Love this colour. I so wanted to buy one today, but they are tidy and £2 for the blue. I want one like yours. And when I saw the words Michaelmas Daisy, I said to myself - WEED! Now seeing your beauty, I regret having turned up my nose.

I fell asleep so many times as I woke up early this morning. I really need to go to bed.. :sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep: Everyone!

Sweet dream or better still, no dream!

Good morning - overcast but very mild 15 (59F) to 18c and it's quiet even outside.

Rain predicted

The word "crafty" has different meanings in Russian. In this case, I meant positive qualities. For example, I was a crafty mom. When my son was small, he bad ate fruit. Then I hid them in the garden.
When my son found, I said that the hare was brought from the forest for him. Then he was surprised and ate everything! I even tied bananas to trees and said that they grew up at night! :D

Crafty means full of art and can be good. Sometimes in life, we do need a bit of cunning.. doesn't mean we are a bad person. I was a very boring mum. I bought my son an ipod touch when he was in the first year of secondary school. He couldn't believe it.

Good morning, Logan. I nearly fell down the stair as I had forgotten the bag of wall paper .. Very mild. Had the living room window open by half an inch to dilute the air .. a bit cold sitting here.

Wonder if I should buy an incinerator £12... Need to get rid of a lot of wood. A lot of headaches trying to fix the house for the market.
