Debt and Caring

Cherryfudge

I hope you get your rest, it sounds as though you need it. Perhaps do a bit of research and choose yourself some things you'd like to plant for next year, or even stick 'em in a bit late this year. If I didn't do exactly that, I'd get nothing planted. As it is, the mega-late planting of daffodils (rescued in the sales last year but not planted till February) are coming along nicely, and last year's late planting of daffodils (from the year before) are blooming beautifully even if they reached the same point stupendously late last year.

Another thing you might have fun with is the free plants you can get from sprouted potatoes, lemon pips, seeds scooped out of tomatoes (though these are often not the best varieties for northern UK) and so forth. I'm sure you know plenty without me listing them.

I do find the climate can sabotage plans and good gardening intentions every bit as well as I can do it myself, so don't kick yourself for not planting or any other jobs. You have made progress, and that is commendable.

And yay! for the free bookcase! Both in terms of saving it and in terms of usefulness.

Incidentally - raspberry and custard doughnut - oh yes. My two favourite doughnut flavours together. If I can't have it, at least you did. 😊

Hope you're feeling a bit brighter. Hurrah for free bookcase! And gardens and friends and dinners

I was rather gloomy yesterday and this morning. Have taken myself off to my sister's for the night, partly to avoid the 5am start of Thursday but also to escape the living in one giant to do list that is my flat.

Am feeling better after some vitamin C and a hot shower.

Some work to do on my emotional state but that can wait until I've had a recharge.

I am indeed making notes for next year, this year is experimental and trying to bring together the elements of previous attempts. As well as actually learning how to have hobbies.
