The Day of the Triffids

My current obsession with alpines and such like plants continues. Need to curb my enthusiasm. Don't know why I've become interested in these rather strange plants.

Excellent event at the Book Festival last night. Particularly enjoyed the poetry of Roseanne Watt, having been in Shetland so recently. The travel went ok but it was so WET. Much better today thank goodness.

Otter went for his blood tests today. I think he's not terribly well. Poor old dog.

Off to meet a friend in Bridge of Allan this afternoon. We usually meet at the university but it's been flooded in parts this wet summer so better to decamp. Looking forward to seeing her.
