Wish I could remember what I've been doing all morning, apart from dishes and potting up Merivel's super violets, complete with little buds, which arrived today.
They are now potted in John Innes 2, in specially -painted pot of lavender-grey, and at front of big pots (for this season) and among Violas, Anemone Blanda (blue ones) and creeping campanula, same purply-blue as winter's Iris reticulata and tiny asters, now finished so moved out-of-sight until next winter, which system seems to be working quite well, but am amazed at very high cost of postage and wouldn't have asked for them if I'd known. All the damp soil and wet paper have been good belt-and-braces packaging, but so very expensive, and at a time when most of us are having to live on slightly less, whatever our financial state may be.
It must have taken ages to dig out such good roots, I feel guilty about your spoon expenditure too, but thanks again, I'm very grateful for yet another lovely birthday present.
Hope we're all dealing well with the cold weather, and that upward enjoyed some time away from the flat yesterday, just a change from four walls can lift one's spirits.
This month's prescriptions were delivered this morning, so am grateful to some lovely people who prevented me from running out next Monday,when pharmacy is closed, after two unexpected delays between my GP appointment and their dispensing department contacting pharmacy with scripts. It means I can have an hour away myself this afternoon, despite lots still to do before tomorrow's visitor.
