I've just found my mobile phone in the pocket of a fleece in the cupboard. And I was fearing I had dropped it in the street. I lost it last week on the train from Paddington to Exeter, and I had to take the train to Plymouth to pick it up. (No problem really: I had never taken the train from Exeter to Plymouth, and it really is the most beautiful train line I have ever seen in England.)

While I was programmes editor for our concert series here, I was often heard to ask 'what did we do before google?'
Now through judicious use of google and wikipedia, I feel like the entire world's knowledge and expertise is at my disposal.
Time to make sandwiches and head to bed. Don't want to oversleep again like I did today. Rather loud thunderstorm at 5am didn't help.

What HO! I was up at 5am local time to take the van to the garage (again) to have an oil leak fixed. Beautiful sunrise but I don't do purple prose before midday, so later perhaps?  |

I can do purple prose now. My garden is better. I planted valerian plant for my needs. I hope it will survive and prosper. I tried to follow good suggestions about gardening. I have geranium. It is in a pot outside. My friend told me that flies don't like it, so I may take it inside. I planted petunia (one big one), poppy and few other things. I don't know how to protect it without poisoning snails. I don't want to kill snails such a barbaric way. I will have to develop a better strategy (see Waffle thread). The purple prose (or poem) is coming, I am sure. I don't know only what language it is going to come in. So far it could be only in two languges. We have cloudy skies and it is trying to rain, but so far nothing. Incidentally my petunia is in this colour.  |

I've just found my mobile phone in the pocket of a fleece in the cupboard. And I was fearing I had dropped it in the street. There must be material somewhere in there for a sermon by the Rev J C Flannel. "There is more joy in the Happy Room, in a very real sense, in finding one lost mobile in a sheep than in ninety and nine mobiles that have never strayed from the pouch." |

I am happy because I did my spring clrearing up of old staff. Now I have a little bit more space.
It is boring job, but one has to do it to feel comfortable in the house.
I am happy too. And the school is over and finished. It is beginning to sink in.
