As I think my life has become boring and predictable I have decided to try at least one new thing every month. So far I have tried Tai Chi (interesting but an awful teacher so need to find a new one), flower arranging, experimented with different food (I usually eat the same things all the time) and visited a museum I hadn't been to before. I'm not too active (well bone idle actually - blush) so anything physical would have to be gentle. Any suggestions?

Ironic? Sod's law? How come, my Buddleias self seed everywhere. In the crevices of the walls, the steps, even in the fence! But, when I planted a seedling I tugged out and put it in my 'wild area' (this is an area of my garden I tell people Chris Packham told me to create but is in fact an overgrown rockery that I let go! but I do like the feeling of self righteousness now it's gone mad and things are living in it!) it died. And, I collected wild flower seeds, sprinkled in, nothing, bought a packet, nothing, got a free packet from Dogs Trust, nothing. Just 2ft high grass that, as it does every year, has now gone flat. But... I notice, a large poppy is growing out of the tarmac on my front driveway! Is there a 'god of gardening?'. If there is, he is frowning down upon me!

Oops! I came a bit adrift with all those double consonants in that last post. blush
