I've completely lost it ... my train of thought that is. ð
I had downloaded these two photos onto my new post, Alan came and asked me something ... and then the electric went off while the engineer was working on our Smart meters. They haven't been 'talking to base', and since our change from British Gas who installed them, to Octopus, the new company has been struggling with getting the readings at their end. British Gas kept us waiting for months and months and never got around to sorting things out, so hopefully we are on the verge of success.
Anyway all of the above made me completely lose my train of thought. When I compose a new post I usually start with a photo and go from there. I think the top photo was to show the space I now have next to my front door, so I will roll with that idea!!
I sold the cupboard that used to stand there on Facebook Marketplace at the weekend. It just had one of the Mother in Laws Tongue plants standing on it, and took up quite a bit of space. Now the cupboard is gone, I have trimmed down both my plants, they were ridiculously tall, and put the cuttings into the jug you see there and I suddenly have space.
This has been a very prolific plant, I have already sold two plants off the original and will soon have another pot of rooted leaves, so I guess another plant will have to go. Not bad really, for an initial £24 purchase of a large Mother in Laws Tongue, I have already made back the purchase price and with hopefully more to come.
This was the second photo that I had ready loaded when the power went off ... at the same time as my brain seemingly.
Well, what can I say ... this is George the bear. His name tag says Edward, but I have always thought of him as George!!
You can just see next to him on the right, the jug that had been with the plants by the front door. I moved it as I had visions of me whipping back the curtains and knocking water all over the floor, now that would have been annoying.
Not the blog post you were perhaps expecting, but then it's probably not the blog post that I was expecting either!!

Glad it's not just me then!
ReplyDeleteYou must have green fingers - pot plants all round for Christmas?
Haha, no it might be another sale .. or perhaps I could ask Alan if he would like one. ðŠīððŠī
DeleteAlways good when plants can be multiplied in that way.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take much these days to make me completely lose my train of thought ð

I seem to have a knack with Mother in Laws Tongues and Spider Plants, they are almost annoyingly prolific. Now if you give me an Aloe Vera, she's dead in a month. ð
DeleteGosh I've never thought of selling plants, usually give them away.
ReplyDeleteI used to do that, but I've no-one to give them to now. If I give them to Alan it's like signing their death warrant. ðŦĢ I have to surreptitiously sneak in and look after the couple he has gotten from me. ð
DeleteWe all have moments like that. Xx
ReplyDeleteThe older you get, the more often they pop up. ð
DeleteIt's called the wonder years.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where I put that?
I wonder why I came into the room?
I wonder what happened to ...
