I grew this

from a tiny little plant. It is a coreopsis. And I am proud of myself.

I've worked from home today so that I could take my car for its MOT.

I am pleased to say that it passed.

I sat working at the garage, watching people as I do. Was particularly interested in the lady next to me who was painting her nails a very bright blue. I hoped that the bright blue mini outside was hers and was quite disappointed when it wasn't.

My son has just told me that Robin Williams has died and I feel like I have lost a good friend

PS Murphy decapitated his honking hippo today. He will honk no more
