I remember a while back [info]vrya suggesting that what we need is a mind to LJ dumping process when I was saying that I'd written an entry every day for the last week: in my head.

This week qualifies as much the same. It is one of journaling's ironies that the times when you have the most interesting things to write about are the times when you don't have five minutes to fire up the pc and log on, let alone wax lyrical about events. Naturally when nothing is happening and life is toddling along in pleasant routine one has hours to find the most perfect turn of phrase to describe how much nothing much is happening.

Anyway. Here he or she is,



our first and so far only chick at one day old. (S/he's not cute and fluffy like this anymore, mind, a week is long time in the life of a chook.)

This weekend I worked 9-5 on Saturday, and cooked a roast in 30C heat on Sunday (I'd promised Dad a roast - he's not eating right - and a promise is a promise). But last weekend, last weekend was special and I'll cover that tomorrow, by which time I hope to have emptied my email and caught up on my FL.

Aww sweet little chickie. Imagine having 100 eggs, 25 hatch, you neglect the chickies and all but 2 die and those two are sickly little things clinging to life by the thinnest of threads - lucky I'm into gardening and not chickens, because that's what happened to my marigold crop. *g*

It's incredible how many of us do this.

::ahhah::

We read somewhere that marigolds are excellent companion plants for greenery afflicted with aphids. L brought home a tray of seedlings (60) and duly planted them around my roses.

At least one (1) of them had the grace to pop out a flower before it joined its companions in pushing up the daisies. In that great garden in the sky.

So it's not just me? I'm sorry for your poor old marigolds, but it's rather comforting knowing I'm not the only plant killer in the universe. *g*

What's REALLY frustrating is that other people's marigolds grow like bloomin' weeds. They are notorious for being hard to eradicate...

I'm in love with that chicken.
I write LJ entries in bed, and have completely forgotten them by the time I wake up the next morning.

And the ones you write in bed are the ones with the sparkling wit and erudition, right?
