1. Dodeatheon is a very beautiful little plant that grows in the damp patch. There are lots of very cheerful flowering plants in the garden today but this one is definitely the queen. I have been messing around with Flickr and thinking about uploading some of my photographs there. I've been inspired by other people's photoblogs but as Ian pointed out there's no point in posting them if nobody looks...oh well I'm going to do it anyway. And its Chelsea week too....2. Martha Wainwright has made a new album "I know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too". I'm loving this album on one play. Its made York a very fine audio place today. My favourite track is "Bleeding All Over You" which contains the brilliant line that makes up the album title. I seem to have a pretty low tolerance threshold with her brother Ruffet, (although I still can listen to his album "Poses" over and over again when the melancholy takes me over). Whatever this record has cheered me up today. Oooh! "You Cheated Me" another great track. Who could have predicted that Martha has been recording the events of my life? Enough! It's bweutiful.
3. York Freecycle is wonderful too. This morning I put a little 'wanted' request on the site and when I got home this evening a very kind gentleman in Acomb has kindly emailed to say that he has just the thing I need. I've offered stuff and been able to supply things which people have requested. Even though there is a general feeling in this house that we have just about all a reasonable person could want, Freecycle does offer a great opportunity for circulating the material manifestation points we call 'things'. The campaign to ignore the supermarkets is not going quite as well as I might have hoped. But as so often, it's better not to get attached to any one idea or plan. I think that it was an enlightened being who observed that the only thing you can reliably predict is that things will change. There might be some mileage in that thought. I'll have to think about it.
