I soon learnt with my Mum not to buy her nice things because they'd go to the laundry and never be seen again, no matter how well labeled. Theft was rampant in both rest homes and if we complained we were told it was our fault somehow, as if their residents didn't deserve good stuff. Or useful stuff like teeth and reading glasses. I wonder now if such deprivations were used as not so subtle punishments...
Last night the Moon rose early and in just the right spot to send a patch of moonlight onto the pillow next to mine. I took that as a message from the Universe and slept beautifully for nine glorious hours. My garden stuff was delivered last night, our local Hammer Hardware boss brought it right on Happy Hour as we sat in the sun with glasses of rose under the sun umbrella, living the best life of retired layabouts. He'll have to come back tonight though, he only brought one bag of the two vegie mix bags I ordered and paid for so I'll ring them later this morning and growl, lol. But it means I can start the refreshing of the potted garden, and plant out some seedings. Should keep me quiet for a while...
