Pretty things

[smokingboot]

larians has bought me two bunches of multi-coloured carnations, speckled with yellow and flame, scarlet and pink. They are beautiful and cheer my heart. I love flowers.

Anne and Dan sans lj bought me a wonderful huge herb pot, with old favourites and new ones I would never consider buying for myself including a dwarf curry plant with a delicate smell.

Carrie sans lj sent a gift of scented toiletries from Glastonbury; two luscious goddessy soaps from the temple of 'Priestess Pammy' and a perfume oil named after the muse of inspiration and eloquence. May she bring me many stories!

Remembering now, the offer of Dan and Anne re Venice in February; Carnevale again! Oh but we are so broke! But we may not be by then...

A favourite snack of mine, old style Spanish, peasanty and bad for you; take good bread and cover it with a very thin layer of olive oil; then smear with honey and then rub with half an orange. Wakes me up. Tastes good.

This flu is breaking, and I realise how exhausted I have been. The sky is heavy, ready with rain, so I open all the windows and let the air move through the house. Feels cool and good.

Today is a better day.
