Garden

Monday

13th January, 2020

On Monday, 13th January, 1975

I started work at the CSB Ashgrove.

45 years ago today.

Unbelievable.

.................

Photos of my garden this very morning.

This frangipani is a cutting from the Toowong Cemetery.

The tree there is dying ( ironic ).

It seems to be doing just fine in its new home.

I thought that this small grevillea wasn't going to make it.

I staked it up, gave it room to thrive, water, TLC .... etc.

I have been rewarded with the most magnificent blooms !

Sam's chili bush has been moved over to a larger pot.

Seems to be enjoying things.

I planted all these Jalapeño seeds.

How many ??

One of many paw-paw trees which I have grown from seed.

Passion fruit cuttings from the vines which I also grew from seed.

I use these as indoor decorations.

The garden = my quiet place to regain my sanity in the not-sane world.

This is amazingly apt for me ....

Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: A protracted dispute or a challenging experience can be exhausting. Even a minor squabble affects our mood and our motivation. An experience at the end of 2019 raised doubts over one of your key relationships. But, as you move further into the New Year, it's important to remember that you're in control of your life, and that there are times when you can't allow circumstances to dictate your mood. As the transformational power of Saturn and Pluto give you a boost, you can re-energise and move on.

New Year's Eve

Horoscope

Cancer the Crab

It's time to take a step back and question your strong impulse to do one thing whilst avoiding another. When you think about it, you could just as easily switch your views and do the exact opposite ! The start of the new decade brings the chance to make resolutions that can kept. That's all the more reason to think carefully about the changes you really want to make. It's worth remembering that true success encompasses a willingness to fail and try again. If you aim high this year, you'll go far.
