Yes, despite the outwardly chaotic appearence of my life I do have plans. Some of them (such as the Nobel Prize (Peace or Literature – I’m easy) are not likely to come to fruition. The oldest laureate was 90, so I still have time, but I fear that it may no longer be a realistic prospect.
However, assuming that the younger me had planned to become a middle-aged man with a weight problem and unrealistic dreams of winning a Nobel Prize, I think it’s fair to say we can consider that done.

You win some, you lose some.
The plans for the coming day include doing the laundry (I am now well enough to take up my domestic duties again). That’s according to Julia, anyway; I still feel another week of watching daytime TV while she brings me cups of tea is in order. I also have to buy the ingredients for a rhubarb crumble (apart from the rhubarb.)
Nasturtium – once known as Indian Cress because it tastes like watercress
Apart from that, which I confess, is not an onerous list, I need to make something for tea (which will be a nice, easy salad) and write a to do list for Julia. We ended up with four pages of notes on Friday morning. They are currently more of an avalanche of words and ideas, rather than a list.
By 4.30 this afternoon they will be a list – sorted by importance, season and financial implication.
Today’s pictures are more flowers, but this time I know the names.

All of us have had plans at one point or another that did not come to fruition. 🙂
The flowers are beautiful, especially the nasturtiums! We grow those here. Once they self-seed, they come back every year.
Self-seeding is one of my favourite things in a plant, as is being good in a salad.
As for plans – I always have dozens. 🙂 If one goes astray I always have a replacement.
More wonderful flowers!
I thought I’d take advantage of the access to flowers. Haven’t seen many recently. 🙂
We all need plans, big and small, realistic or, ahem, a lovely dream. But if we don’t dream…And those flowers are just lovely.
Thank you. A man’s reach should exceed his grasp, as they say. (Though as a saying it never seems to make sense to me).
It’s one of those sayings 😉
🙂
Good plan, good pictures.
After today I’m seriously considering plans for an air-conditioned shed.
It was definitely was warm yesterday.
And today. 🙂
I know – did some early gardening but now I’m behind closed doors and windows… having a nap.
Never underestimate the value of a nap. 🙂
Especially as I can’t sleep at night with it being so warm 😴
We’ve started using a fan at night – bad for the environment but better for us.
I did actually think of getting one myself but then that doesn’t make it dark in the evenings or reduce the hay fever symptoms 😕
Black out curtains, aircon, pollen filters…
Sleeping was so much simpler when I was young.
Do you think so!
Like so many things I can’t remember problems seeping until I got into my 40s. I suppose that may be my memory deteriorating…
Or maybe you simply care more!
Ooops! I meant “sleeping”. My “seeping” problems are not for blogging.. 🙂
I took it the spelling mistake was evidence of your lack of sleep!
You are probably right. 🙂
And closed curtains, I meant to add.
🙂
Will you be putting nasturtiums in your salad? (The Head Gardener tells me you can use the seeds as capers)
The Head Gardener is, as usual, sound on plants. I’ve never made the “capers” (though I have read how to do it) but I have used the leaves and flowers in salads.
