Just a peony

A tree peony.

Happy birthday A.I.M.E.

Had my first migraine for years today, although it wasn't a patch on the ones I used to get. Wearing dark glasses and using my walking stick, I must have looked bad.

I really do hate it when people assume you need help. I am not disabled, but if I was, I can imagine it really would be difficult to accept people being condecending. The Air Steward on the plane when we returned from Budapest on Monday, was only trying to be overly helpful, but I could have cheerfully rammed my stick somewhere the sun don't shine. Being polite is acceptable, but talking down to people can never be.

Sorry, rant over.
