Hello young Albert
not a bad day today, toasty but ok inside. I didn’t even turn on the aircon. I got a few messages that parcels I was expecting have been delayed but nothing really important. Floods have damaged the rail service with the east so everything is back up a little 🤷♂️
How about you and your beloved?
While Drew plays games with glitter nukes, we have our own biological warfare going on. The group of plants known as Poisons are naturally full of 1080, a deadly toxin. There a couple of nature reserves that are surrounded by sheep corpses, the plants are so deadly that the sheep nibble on the leaves and die. Not good for people either. Pretty members of the pea family but definitely not for eating.
Ask Albert about the Sundew family of flowers. Covered in glistening droplets capturing the light and looking so pretty…
except the glistening droplets are actually digestive fluids and slowly dissolve the insects caught in the trap. Hey we have very poor soils and a plant has to do what a plant has to do to get some nutrients.
Mostly chilling and writing job applications

The restaurant has its own huge vegetable garden. They only provide a sample menu because it depends on what’s in season.
