I'm just not cut out for bonsai tree ownership, I can't bring myself to trim Ian (the tree) because his new leaves show me that he's doing pretty okay. People kept giving me the impression that bonsai trees were stupidly delicate and die immediately out of spite, but Ian's doing fine. There were a couple close calls where he wilted a bit during the heatwave we had last week, but I nursed him back to health and now he's a strapping young tree!
Today I went swimming for the first time in ages, and after a few lengths there was a twinge in my leg and I suddenly remembered that you're supposed to stretch before exercise! And then there was cramp and I had to learn how to swim one-legged. Good fun all in all!
I also have a new hobby, which is collecting shitty toys from pound shops. Anything that has those magical words 'Made in China' on them are fair game. They make some pretty amazing shite there.
( Only two items in my collection at the moment but I think they're pretty fabulous )
Only two so far, but I will be forever on the lookout for more!
