I have some pretty new plants for my garden.
All the ones we rescued from the supermarket are doing great despite the neglect they suffered.

Can't wait for the weather to stabilise a bit so I can get in there and do stuff.

Some of the cows I'm calving out escaped this morning.

Normally I'd complain, but it was pretty darn funny - they were peeking out from behind stuff and acting like they were stealthy. XD Goofs.

Bless xD.

Today I finally got to clearing out and sorting part of my garden so I feel accomplished.

I had a surprise gift in the post from my friend in India, who has a very good memory - she sent me a custom made keychain she'd had commissioned for my birthday with my name on it and a Rainbow Dash charm on the end of it. I used to have ponies in my dorm room when we shared a flat seven years ago...that's a long time to remember that I like ponies...

Not least because I graduated with Rainbow Dash :)

And M&S are giving away free seed growing kits. I never turn down free plants...so now hopefully I'm going to try and grow some basil on my windowsill.

It looks kind of funny with the tiny pot next to my giant begonia which is wintering in my room. The begonia is a type known as 'whopper' and has already regrown to at least a foot above the soil. Meanwhile the basil pot is about 2 inches tall. It's like introducing a mouse to an elephant.

Aww, that would have made me smile too! Puppies usually have that effect  ^.^

I found a woman's phone wallet (new Samsung phone, credit cards/bank cards/driver's license, etc.) on the street curb downtown.  The woman's son called looking for it 30 min later.  He picked it up at the restaurant I was having lunch at. I felt good that an untrustworthy individual did not get their hands on it, as there can be some pretty sketchy people in my downtown.

This will resonate only with plant people, but my verbena is budding up to flower.

This is one of my winter rescue plants from the basket last year.

In the course of the winter I have had to remove from it both aphids and a caterpillar it picked up outside. Plus slugs, some of which got into its roots and caused 2/3 of its growth to die.

It also had its main stem damaged so that it was bent, so I was worried it wouldn't make it. In fact, that branch is now stronger than ever and one of the buds is coming on it, which is great because I splinted it to hold it still and it seems to have worked.

I potted up the plant a few days ago to better support its new growth and yesterday I noticed two small buds coming on the branches.

It's like all the effort put in over the last few months to save this plant feels worth it.

We now have TAXI's again :D  Not that I use them as I have an electric scooter. Hopefully soon we will get food delivery services back
I am so sick of nothing but rice, eggs, and dumplings.

A co-worker of mine greeted me with a smile in the morning, tellling me that she's had a dream with me in it last night, and in her dream I saved her.
She dreamt that she left this company and moved back to another one she previously worked at. She hated both the job and the colleagues, and she was terribly depressed and sad about being back here, not even understanding why she went back. Then, out of the blue, I appeared in the office, and she came up to me - it turned out I teach there part time (yes, I do have a teacher's degree, but neither our current job, nor the job she dreamed of moving back to, have anything to do with teaching :D ) besides my main job, and when she told me how wretched she feels there, I told her "ah, we were expecting that you will change your mind. You still have your place waiting for you back there, come, I'll bring you back" - and we left the awful workplace together, and she woke up super happy. Seeing how happy she was about the dream made me super happy too, and these little things reassure me in that I am doing my job as a team leader well (I haven't been in the position for half a year, and I am constantly unsure about whether I am good enough. She isn't my direct report - there are 4 team leaders in my unit, each with a handful of direct reports - but I like to be approachable and generally available to anyone who might need help).

Got up at sunrise to do a run, all was peaceful and quiet when out of nowhere, something tapped by bottom...

I looked around, nothing...

then saw a dog fussing around my ankles and trying to jump up!  :lol:

No, Mr Doggie, I will not stop to pet you, I am on a pace timer!!  :P

I found an Amazon voucher when checking through my bag for something else. I must have put it in there for safe keeping and then forgot about it. Still valid. :D

I took some home-made cookies to a singles thing tonight.  The guys literally ate them up (even though there were other desserts available) so I guess they weren't terrible.  :)
