I think that may be my problem sometimes I love them too much. Especially with over watering. I really hoped my agapanthus would take off and grow in a pot by the front door. I think I may of watered her just a little too much. Weāve had a ridiculous summer here in Perth and it just wonāt let it go (boom boom Disney pun).
Iām always burying crystals in my pot plants.
I name a lot of my plants and talk to them. I agree with you though I would never intentionally say anything nasty to a plant.
About the only nasty thing that I ever say in regards to plants is to either a) think in my head or b) mutter under my breath isā¦ āoh go and hug a cactusā.
On a completely random off tangent thought.
Hahaha I just remembered somethingā¦ I really do have to watch watch I mutter under my breath though.
About a week and a bit ago I was lining up in a little bit of a queue at my local pharmacy to get a boost to our supply of rapid antigen tests. Anywho there was a lady a few customers in front of me who clearly decided that she was having a bad day so every poor unfortunate soul who had the bad luck to cross her path that day had to have a bad day too.
The poor little lass that was coping the brunt of the spray had ātraineeā on her badge. Even with the store manager there he couldnāt find a solution to the issue. To be fair I donāt know exactly what her problem was but I just donāt like watching people trying to do their job cop a mouthful.
This went on for quite a minutes before miss HR Pufnstuf left with a huff and a puff. As she was giving the young girl and her manager one last spray of colorful language I muttered under my breath and under my mask, and socially distancedā¦ āoh Dracarys!ā I thought that she desvered a full amount of Drogonās justice.
I must have said it a little lounder than I thought because the little old lady in front of me. I swear no lie turned around, looked right at me - I thought I was in trouble for a second and clearly quoted a very succinct GoT line āwell thereās no cure for being aā¦ā !!!
(Anyone who has seen that particular episode of Thrones will know exactly what word that is!)
I was stunned for a muntue then I couldnāt help but share a laugh.
The young girl that copped it continued to serve each customer and she apologised for the delay, when she got to me all I said was āare you ok?ā Poor love looked as though she could burst into tears. I wish it was not covid-y times then I could have given the poor possum a big squeezy non catcus-y hug.
Apologies for the random-ness and off topic-ness there. Itās been a looong week at work this week. Itās early in the am here and Perth and itās the last day at work before the weekend.
