Musings

I’ve killed off my weeping fig. It’s always easy to tell the state of my life by my plants. When they’re luxuriant, shiny of leaf and in flower then Pyk’s a happy bunny. Conversely, when they’re dead, wilting, surrounded by weeds and covered in dust, then Pyk is frazzled, things on her mind or unhappy.
I think I’ve had a weeping fig in my life for the last 10 years … maybe it’s time for a change? It was actually the only indoor plant I’ve had for the last 3 and a half years … I’ve tended to look after the patch outside but even that went to pot until a month or two back. However all is blooming outdoors and the toms very sneakily grew some additional spurs down at the bottom and there was me tweaking ‘em out higher up! I think I took my own advice of nipping out the new shoots a little too well on the miniature toms in hanging baskets. Think I’ve nipped out the main spur. However the up side of that is that that I won’t be having to eat green chutney ‘til it’s coming out of my ears!
There’s always a silver lining to Pyk’s clouds!
I’m feeling guilty about the fig now! I took it thro to the back yard, leaves dropping off all along the way and left it out in the rain. Awww, Jules, you shouldn’t have done that, it doesn’t like being in the rain and cold! Maybe I’ll get a bigger pot tomorrow, cut it back a little and give it some nice new soil and apologise for being a bad mummy??
Tora’s got her house, yippeeeeee! Maybe I’ll drop the bombshell about visiting her now?? Yak yak yak! Well, not NOW, immediately, this moment … but at some time in the future.
Chatting to the vicar tonight in t’pub I said I had a free day upcoming and he suggesting jumping on a plane at Humberside Airport and taking a trip to Amsterdam for the day. Maybe I’ll look see the fares??? Not with him, I hasten to add! Not that there’s anything wrong with him … just that that wasn’t the suggestion. Throw the spade away Jules!
Scrap that idea …. Day trips just aren’t cheap at the moment. Maybe I’ll just jump in the car and go ……….. somewhere! Anyone want to come out and play?
Just realised I’ve developed a dual personality in this post.
OK, I suppose someone’s gonna do a Freud on me?
How, when there’s plenty around me to do can I be feeling like I need a project?
