It’s been an odd day. I slept a bit long..as I have every morning since sleep came my way. I looked at all my notifications, emails, etc.
A friend sent me a text inviting me for a cup of tea. She is only round the corner. She’s been sorting stuff out in her flat, and yesterday I urged her to clear up the mess before it gets her mood low.
It was just as bad, and I find it hard to feel at peace sitting in a mess. Her feet are much worse than yesterday. More swollen and the skin darker. I’m trying to persuade her to raise her feet. She does it for 5 minutes and starts doing things again.
I left within an hour. I need to write her information to tell her doctor. She told me very spontaneously that I’m so lovely.
This afternoon I’ve been writing. But not really in a relaxed way. I published something to a wrong publication. I republished it to the correct one, and then my phone rang and when I went to delete the erroneously published one, somene had responded to it and deleted it from the correct publication.
Oh, the frustration!!!
So it rained in the night which is great for the garden, but it’s been slightly muggy which affects my breathing.
Other than that I’m ok. A lady named Ginny over the road knocked to say that a parcel was outside my front door. She is very kind.

most pack plants sensibly. others use ceran wrap and tons of cellotape and one almost destroys the plant trying to cut it out.

Well, one uses common sense and marks the package live plants. The latter helps a great deal!

I’d be ok with marking the package; it’s the actual packing that would cause some difficulty 🙂

Take a small plant and long enough sheets of newspaper to roll around it. Give the plant a good drink, wrap but don’t fold down. Place in box appropriately sized. Fill gaps with newspaper. Seal box, mark live plant this way up and send it. This always arrives healthy and well.
