i'm conscious that i haven't blogged for a while; i don't want to blog out of guilt for not blogging, but don't want to fall out of the habit either. and, for once, at work it's quite quiet, so i should take advantage of the current lull.
weeds are a problem. dandelions have very deep tap roots, that can survive even though you manage to pull a good length out. i am tempted to resort to chemicals, but there is something satisfying about gradually eradicating them by hand. bit by bit, we're clearing the paving slabs of the weeds in the cracks. clean paving slabs are good!
i'm thinking of my talk for sunday:
i don't want to give them a lecture that they've already heard a hundred times.
i want to give them something they can relate to.
i want to offer them a tangible hope.
i want to offer them something different, but attainable.
i want to offer them something mysterious.
i want to challenge them.
i want to start from where they are, not where i am.
hmmph.
garden update
we're growing sunflowers, thusly:
nice, eh?
