Houseplant help

thanks for everyone's comments
I am now imagining houseplants in shower caps with loofahs!
I so needed a good laugh today, I broke 2 fingers 3 weeks ago so as you can imagine the pain is incredible!

I spat coffee all over the dog, creased up and my husband is now talking about the man in the van! 
Then again, he was all for calling them when I called spider plant Jethro....

Lol! Completely off topic and apologies but how did you break your fingers?!

I like the idea of plant naming with the weird lonlelyness/lack of chat even as lockdown eases.

I've got to think about this. Naming and talking to my plants. We aren't the first. We are in Royal company.

Hope the broken fingers weren't trying to juggle plants and showers

Not a problem
I'm a support worker, I work with adults with severe challenging behaviour. 
I had to say no. Yeh... these things happen.

My husband is all for calling the Man with the Van!
He comes in and hears "Morning boys and girls, let's open the curtains and get you some light..."
I broke my fingers after having a gentleman I support, how to put it nicely, he didn't me saying no.
Yeh, occupational hazard unfortunately

But what you say is normal - no?

Ditto, I've had a retained a bunch of stuff from my similar work. You try telling a doctor who's English isn't a first  language that you cracked your knee because someone dropped the height of the trapeze in an adventure playground and the shoulder, now healed was a trampoline 'accident' lol.

I was talking to a cashier in Tescos who also talks to her plants so it's perfectly normal.

Big hugs to you hun, challenging being a support worker, much respect 🤗
You named your plants yet tp? 😸

twopenny

Not yet but I'm still talking to them.

Asked the plum tree what's wrong and assured it I'll do what I can, given the branches a stroke lol.

You've got to give encouragement to the youngsters.
