Lock-down Day 505

Mippies definitely did not want me to go to work today. Mini held on to my shoelaces, as I tried tying them, then pawed at the dangling scarf. Ziva sat on the night stand, looking forlorn, Janey mipped at me when I tried to go through the kitchen - I had to pick her up and hold her for a bit, and Mewthos sat on the counter in the lounge watching me just as forlorn as Ziva, as I walked past to go out. As I reached the garage door, Mini made a dash for it! Just for me, not trying to dash into the garage, thank goodness!

I quickly went to the Spar around the corner ... and: lo and behold, they had one lonely glass of coffee! And not overpriced! That'll see me through the month! Which will give me time to make a plan ...

Rough day at work ... I'm glad to be home. I don't want to do anything today, just sit back, relax ... then end the day with a lovely hot bath. It's quite cold today, it's overcast and windy. Not very pleasant.

I definitely don't feel up to cleaning another rose bed - I'm trying to work up the energy to at least make some effort to try what I can of my succulents ... but it's just so depressing ...

Well, I've picked what few leaves I could find, that still looked alive. Letting them dry now ...

Oh, yes, succulents are easy to come by and I could quite easily get replacements ... but, well, the one's now dying are from Rose's garden! That makes them special to me. And THAT is why this is depressing me so much ...

I just don't get what killed them? It's not the PH. It's not the drought. I have no clue ...

Anyway ...
