Flying visit to Cambridge earlier today to vote (in borrowed gown) for the next Chancellor of the University.

Enjoying a nostalgia fest having found the 1970s Lord Peter Wimsey novel adaptations starring Ian Carmichael lurking on YouTube...

Hmm. Is it unreasonable, when I spend £20 odd on 3 x 9cm pots of Pulmonaria Sissinghurst White from "the UK'S largest gardening website", to expect 3 small, but *established*, plants rather than 3 barely visible seedlings?⬇️🤔

Hi!👋
Followed you on twitter, loads of mutuals, then you suddenly vanished from my TL - eventually found you'd blocked me.🤷‍♀️

Please unblock me! 🙏

Stewardess Violet Jessop also survived the sinking of both the Titanic & the Britannic, & was on board when the Olympic collided with HMS Hawke in 1911. She carried on working as a Stewardess until 1950 & died in 1971.

"Waiting for Godot"
(Spoiler: he didn't turn up.🙂)

Found myself in Chalk Farm, so visited the Reject Pot Shop for the first time since I left Hartland Road (lived there from 1980-2002).
a) They actually recognised me!
b) This & Gohils (handmade leather bags & shoes) must be the only shops on Chalk Farm Rd/Camden High St that remain from the 1980s.

The only trouble with Blue sky is that as most of my activity on the other place is arguing with idiots, I'm not quite sure what to do here.
So anyway, this is what I'm currently doing in my spare time:

My Christmas cacti have gone mad again. Not content with flowering in the summer (aka not Christmas) they are in bloom again. IT'S STILL NOVEMBER! IT'S NOT CHRISTMAS.
