Flat

Trip to the garden centre to buy proper cages for my next lot of brassicas! My fellow allotmenter has them and they look so good - and so simple to erect! Turns out they are a mix and match affair - choose your height, length and  width and get the right number of aluminium poles and connectors. This took me a while to suss out, particularly as they only had 3 of the height I wanted! I left the job of working out how much netting I needed to the young man who would cut it off the roll. I went for the cheap and the expensive version - it all  came to over a hundred pounds! Good job I was paying attention at the till as she had charged me for 5 pieces when I only had four! 
A young man helped me out with all of it to my car - thats when I noticed my rear tyre was seriously deflated! I thought it would get me to my local garage but the young man scared me with the possibility of a blow out as it was close to the rim, plus a six point penalty on my license if the police stopped me! I was going to risk it and refused his kind offer to change the tyre when my net man came out to see what was going on. He backed up his friend so I accepted their  kind offer to change it! massive turn out of the boot, hunt for the special bolt  to get the nuts out, and then the tyre wouldn't come off! He was sweating buckets by this time as it was mighty hot.He googled it and seems other people had the same trouble with tyres on my make of car - so he applied brute force and it came off! I was well impressed with him and jokingly asked if as well as being able to do complicated maths, change a tyre and do landscaping ( we had had a good chat at the time he cut my net so I'd already found this out!) could he cook! He said yes! Turns out he also grew up on a farm and knew all about hens! Damn if he was only 20 years older I would have asked him out as he was good looking too! My ideal man! I gave him £20 instead! I stopped at the garage on my way home -  a puncture was found after he poured water over the tyre and it fizzed at one point - he said he would try to patch it. 
Home to unpack my Waitrose shopping - good job I'd taken a cool bag for my cold stuff!
Come the evening when I went to meditate my Queen of The Night flower was about to open! It looks a little like the plant Audrey II from The Little Shop of Horrors, particularly when you look into it's centre as in the second extra! About an hour later it's pungent scent could be smelt all round the house!  In length from where the stem goes pink it's 20 cm and the same in width when it opens! There are 16 more to open! I'm hoping they don't flower en masse as the scent would be overwhelming!
