The Passion and the Flower
Mar. 19th, 2013 09:53 amI have returned to the land of the living. Not that I was dead before. Just doing audit work. But that's over. I just have to report to the board tomorrow, and we know how well that usually goes. Fingers crossed.
This was on the cover of the newspaper's Sunday supplement:
I've just realised that my photo cut off the end. What it says is: BILL GRANGER COOKS WITH COCONUT, FLAWLESS BEAUTY, MICHELLE BRIDGES + MORE. What an esoteric ingredient list. Take that, Heston.
The seed catalogue from the heirloom seed site I use arrived a couple of weeks ago. So I worked out my winter seed needs and sat down to do my order on Saturday, 9 March. The parsnip seeds listed in the catalogue weren't on the website, which was odd, because normally they list everything and mention if it's out of stock or not in season or whatever. So I sent them an email via their contact page. I didn't expect an answer over the weekend, obviously, and not on the following Monday, which was a public holiday, and not really on the next day, when they probably had a backlog of emails from people like me to work through. I didn't get a response all week, though, so this Saturday just past I did my order without the missing parsnip seeds. And so of course yesterday, nine days after my email, I got a response. Just 'the seeds are there now, so try again'. But I can't be bothered now. I'll make do without parsnips, or get seeds from somewhere else. Nine days is too long, isn't it? Or am I being unreasonable?
Tomorrow: The Saint and the Sinner!
