nipped back home at lunchtime yesterday to get lunch, but mainly because i knew it was going to be a very long day and i needed a break............it was a beautiful day too, i'd have loved to just stay in the garden..........tried to haul the netting back up and fix it to the wall again, cut some more bits off the clematis.........the climbing rose "Curiosity" has had its main stem broken, so i cut the roses off it and in the process it stuck and exceedingly sharp thorn into my finger, it bled like fury.......so losing my temper and shearing some of its thorns off it wasn't very mature, but it hurt!......hopefully i'll have time this evening to get some proper fixings and tie it up properly. still not sure why it fell off, the clematis was heavy but i suspect some little cat may have tried to climb on it...........some little cat has also broken a bit off the weeping birch i see, the Bengal Beastie loves to climb and pretend she's a leopard lurking in a tree........
..........my tomato plants have loads of tiny green tomatoes on them so i'm very excited.......the morning glory is covered in pests and seems to be dying.........funny that because the MG was always associated with Claire and i abruptly terminated the contact with her a couple of months ago.........not to read too much into this, but the plants do seem to react the my relationship with the people..........the Passiflora on the other hand is absolutely flourishing, no doubt to do with being re-potted and watered a lot, but it is strange........the Stephanotis seems happy enough upstairs, but i had to cut a bit to get it down and that part has died so i need to disentangle it from the live bits..........
thought for the day:
do not complain because roses have thorns, but be grateful that thorns have roses.
