We had a most satisfying Sunday--collage in the morning, prepping for Thursday's workshop. This was followed by a pot of Dumni and cucumber sandwiches at Shaktea with my beau. I attended a LOVELY baby shower. Then the sun came out and I did a good two hours gardening. Peter even came down to the allotment with me and we harvested some over-wintered kale, broccoli and lovage as well as some hoary carrots.
I transplanted sweet peas, and nasturtiums and started on my trellises. Why do I hate making trellises? Will the nasturtiums be all right? Will it snow? It did in North Vancouver and Squamish.
I also planted some more seeds: 2 kinds of cukes, purple orach spinach, a fragrant agastache, and red Hopi Dye amaranth. I've decided to give away my sage plant to make room for something more interesting. The buttercup is thriving. Uggh.
I have been watching Season 3 of George Gently and Series 3 of the Land Girls. I also watched Withnail and I and a documentary called Withnail and Us. A trip down memory lane for me. I remember absolutely LOVING that movie and it's been a favorite for a long time. I appreciate it differently now, from a completely different perspective. It does have some of the all time best movie quotes. My favorite today is, "Here hare here." Richard E. Grant is pure genius in this movie. He is one of my favorite actors. I'd forgotten how good Paul McGann was in it too. I love those John Lennon shades. Rest in peace Richard Griffiths, my favorite cooking detective.
