We forgot to say we got some pics of the blue tit. We moved the feeder since this was taken and there is one that always gets confused and flies into things when I move it. That one is a scruffy wee thing compared this one who is around a lot. They perk on the clematis trellises and strip bits of them sometimes is pretty cute.

Got drunk by the fire last night.

Missing my soldiers really badly.



Its box shaped.






All the stuff arrived for the new wicker planters today. There are considerably less sturdy than the plastic but aren't they cute?


Probs the wrong light to show them off proper, and we forgot to put the butterfly back up!! No it was not easy getting them up there, it was hot, heavy and we had to get the step ladder involved. They are up now though and I'm sure we will get at least one summer out of the planters they are gonna look amazing when the plants in them get going.




Picked about seven little orange slugs of the one small plant this evening.. So pleasant out there though.

The ferns. As promised..

The unfurling. Love the unfurling.

Baby fern growing up fast in its new spot.

Moved the repeatedly stamped on fern to and its recovering under the buddleia.

Letter to Savile Investigations.

-
There is a few typos left and its bit clumsy at times, especially towards the end, I have resisted the urge to fix them. Behold below! My letter to the investigations...  As a survivor of networks in which Savile played a very significant role I have found and still find it difficult to remember, articulate and find the right person to talk to about this.  There is a lack of witnesses and victims coming forward and a lack of training in the police when it comes to taking claims of extreme organised abuse seriously.  I am sending this letter to institutions who have ongoing investigations into Jimmy Savile to request that those involved keep an open mind in regards to the possibility of abusive networks that may have included the day to day staff in institutions from various roles and professions.   I am aware that the recent Yew Tree report stated that 'offences were normally, opportunistic' (7.11,p.12) but I hope the...

Wimping out because of pain

Wee man not in nursery, the ibuprofen wasn't working. Feel guilty now. He's been a nightmare recently about nursery. He's happy when I pick him up but resists most of the way there. As for the essay, it might even be a fail. Not that bothered, I've the time now literature is over and the next module, is 'Minds and Bodies', Descartes, bring it on. Think I should give my self a break from the structured stuff and just read and write about whatever I want. Use here more, tackle the old notes. No forces by big square brain into round holes. Feeling better now though, might even put the washing out, or at least out of the washing machine anyway. The more I think about the more justified I feel in attempting to claim disability. With the lawyer dudes help I will have a chance, certainly didn't on that form on my own. How many depressed people are able to be truely honest about how it effects their day to day living? As with the compensation claim ...

 We couldnt leave the flat this time last year. Couldn't even make it to the bins sometimes. Think I remember a post about the total dread experienced when May turned to June. Not so this year. Was a bit worried We would feel something close to that awfulness, that triggered terror on the day of the coronation that Tesco and the met office kindly told us about but nothing like it. Jesus those late last year posts acting like we were getting out fucking telling Junior we might be going home and 'twin'? wtf.   Unfortunately, ended up in the garden the same time as the downstairs horror story and knew she was going to say something there was no way she wasn't going to mention it. She asked if We watched it I said 'Nah' pointlessly hoping that would be the end of it. She started talking about how 'wonderful' it was and we stuck up for ourself and all that is decent everywhere by saying it's 'a bit ridiculous for a modern country'. She started som...
