panik: (Can I do you now?)

Stephen Fry audio squee!

I love Twitter ::laughing like a maniac::

And now I must set down my delicious coffee, a free sample from these people (who I needs must plug because their coffee is fantastic!) and venture forth to Botany Bay for compost to supplement my own rather wet and disastrous stuff, and perlite and pea sticks, French Marigolds, a quince and - gosh! All sorts of gardeny wonders, really. I'm thinking of trying a kiwi (didn't we use to call them Chinese Gooseberries? Like Sharon fruit, aka persimmons, a masterpiece of marketing, Kiwis, you done good there) and a fig this year, too. Yes, it's all excitement here.

I think I really should go and pay my TV License too, before the Beeb send the boys round. And then it's writing all day, pretty much - novel, coming on well after a characterly-glitch, I'm happy to say. Then there's the TS fic which is 3 chapters from complete but this particular chapter, being all about letters and angsty confessions and The Meaning Of Life O:! is taking its time. A difficult birth but I expect we'll get there in the end, she said bravely.

Right then, girding those loins. It's all HOT and sunny O:! out there. Could this be this 'Global Warming' one hears so much about?

I think I may see if they have a roast we both can agree on. "He who must be pleased" wasn't happy with The Coffee Fool Columbian Supremo, it wasn't roasted dark enough. So I try another fair trade coffee outlet till I find on that makes T happy. The coffee I get at Sam's is organic and "responsibly grown" but I'm thinking it doesn't have a fair trade label and I really prefer to know people aren't being exploited so I can have really good coffee.
No gardening here yet, I haven't started anything indoors so it will most likely be container flowers again this year and maybe a small kitchen garden(or not).
Thanks for the link.

It is delicious coffee - we like it anyway. I usually buy Percol's fairtrade Colombian, mainly because it's strong and cheap. :o) - but I'll get some of this too, I think.

I really have to get the garden sorted this year, it's been so neglected for so long.
