After all the excitement of yesterday's Darwin Day, Le Jour de Julia isn't quite as spiffy. Still, I have done extremely well out of the day so far. Hubster has renewed my RHS membership, and is taking me to Wisley tomorrow to see the butterflies in the glasshouse (I'm hoping that parents will make the wise decision not to take Tarquel and Jocasta there on Valentine's Day and that it will be a relatively peaceful grown-up environment. Yeah, right...).
My parents bought me Will Giles' book Encyclopaedia of Exotic Plants for Temperate Climates and some new gardening gloves (with matching secateurs - one can never have enough pairs of secateurs). My little brother got me Day Of The Triffids (so I can understand why Hubster won't turn his back on my Gunnera) and The Gardeners' Book. And Hubster's entire family have very generously contributed to the cost of me doing the KLC Designing With Plants course. Because, you know, I felt I had too much free time, what with the full-time job and the PhD... It will be great fun, and give me a few more options when trying to get out of my Boring Office Job TM.
Anyway, because it's my birthday, I want to make a birthday wish. And my wish is that Amanda win the scholarship. So, for me *big puppy dog eyes*, please vote!
Vote early and vote often. You can do it every eight hours. Which, when you get to my age, anything at that frequency is pretty good!
