We are now entering the realms of the unwell...

Took a sick day - by the time I had to get up, I'd only had about two hours light sleep and I know for a fact that with 5 hours of passive meetings, today isn't going to be very productive. I think IKEA made me ill - perhaps I should sue?

It's a nice day. Sunny and all that. Oh - my seeds came too:


Honesty: Introduced from Europe some 400 years ago and being particularly popular in Victorian times, Honesty is well known for the silvery, moon-like remains of the seed cases that are so useful for drying and using in arrangements. Attractive bright purple flowers, May to July. 2½ ft.

Vegetable Spaghetti, Winter Squash, Gourd: This is a fascinating and interesting item. Looking and grown, as easily, just like a plump, pale yellow Marrow, the mature fruits are boiled for about 20 minutes and then cut in half. And, hey presto – you have a plateful of spaghetti to do with as you would that pasta, such as serve with a meat or tomato sauce or just with butter and seasoning.


Might make myself a new garden related user-pic :)

*nods* That's the thing I hate about shopping - loads of other people are so clumsy and clueless and damn purposeless about it. It's totally my own fault - I'm a bit sensitive and over-empathetic, and spend too long being courteous and plotting careful, helpful paths through with my trolley. Then (to make me sound less saintly :P), I get pissed off when someone cuts me up or squishes my toe.

I'm just not cut out for supermarkets.

Hehe...I love shopping, but Hmmm, I'm not really cut out for it I have to say. I'm better than I was... I no longer have panic attacks, and I can't remember the last time I had trolley rage :D

Mmm - I can totally identify with what you're saying. I'm way better - now I can actually grab some basics in a busy supermarket, whereas 5 years ago I would have turned around and walked straight out. But I don't actually enjoy buying things - I'm kind of apathetic like that - so I generally don't bother.
