Here we go - proof that it is actually spring, even though it's been pissing down rain for the past few days. My apricot tree's starting to think about all the awesome bee sex that's supposed to happen, though I think my jasmine hedge is going to get most of the action. That little trollop's been flowering like mad. This blogger layout's really one of the most annoying I've had to deal with, trying to get the text to align with the pictures is a bloody nightmare. So now I'll just type random shite until I get to the second picture. Right, so: Currently reading Paradise Lost by John Milton. I love it. Amazing that something written in the 1600's is still so entertaining. My favourite line so far is where Lucifer, on his way to revenge his fall on Adam & Eve, doubts himself & comes to the conclusion that even if he submits & is allowed back to his former position, he'll only do the same thing again. "Farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, farewell remorse: all good to me is lost;"
Okay - so here we have the nasturtium that my mum planted while she was over here - looking all orangy good! I'm trying to train it up the trellis, but it looks like what it really wants to do is kill all the other plants. Now I know this isn't really a very well constructed blog entry, but I just wanted to also say that I've watched a movie last night called "The life before her eyes" I prefer mindless violence in my movies but tend to watch stuff like that if by accident it's on tv or something, and on the whole I'm not that overwhelmed by it, but I liked the idea that maybe when you die by accident or before your time the life that flashes before your eyes is the one that you would have had. I reckon the book may have been a bit more beautiful.

Hey sis, love reading your blog!
You have inspired me to make a new post in mine, too.
I guess I will also have to fight with the picture layout...
Have a great day!
