Hoya haul and Lechuza potting
Hoya haul and Lechuza potting
On my last blog, I talked about the wonders of LECA. This time, I’ve got a video for you on Lechuza Pon, a whole different kind of substrate, plus my hoya haul from Hoya Store Australia. Enjoy!

Better the LECA you know
Better the LECA you know
LECA (lek-ah) LECA is short for Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate and is growing medium which allows you to grow plants without any soil whatsoever. I gave birth in October. Okay. Didn’t. My doctor cut me opened and pulled my (unwilling) baby from my uterus in what turned out to be a rather complicated incident. I’ll spare you the details. Any hoo, the reason I mention it is because, while…

Turning my fiddle leaf fig into a tree! So here's a little video for you on creating branches on my fiddle leaf fig...
the trials of my syngonium
I didn’t know a syngonium was a syngonium. They were just these odd mottled plants my mum had. She’d cut them at the stalks and put them in a vase, and there they’d live forever more.
So when I looked for greenery to compliment my new home, I took cuttings from my mothers plant and stuck them in old wine bottles, hoping that I would, perhaps, get a good few months out of them before having to…

yep, I’m a plant lady…
So, if you’ve been following me on Instagram, you will have noticed a change to my content.
A dramatic change.
Yes, that’s right, I’ve gone plant crazy.
Not quite sure what has happened. Actually, I am. It’s the obsessive gene. The addictive gene. I’ve got it.
There’s no grey with me. There’s love, and there’s hate. And when I love something, I love it hard.
Super hard.
When we got our new house…

KOOL-AID: things that go bump in the night
KOOL-AID: things that go bump in the night
The last instalment of Kool-Aid…
It was last night. I can’t tell you what time, as I didn’t pause to check my phone. The sound so large, so near, it woke me from my sleep.
It was a car. Obviously a car, though the sound wasn’t that of a normal driving scenario. Too ragged, too, too… something. I leapt out of bed, to the window. Drew back the curtains. Normally sleep with them open. I like to…

KOOL-AID: i saw him on the tv
Where do I start with this? And where do I start without giving self away? I don’t know. I just don’t know.
It was such an innocuous morning. The fire was going. The kitchen warm. Landlord and I were sitting together. He with his breakfast, me with my coffee. The TV, as per normal, was on. It is normally just background noise for me. I might give extra attention when talk turns to the weather, to…

KOOL-AID: christmas is all around
KOOL-AID: christmas is all around
It’s been a very Christmassy twenty-four hours, really.
Started with yesterday afternoon. Went for a walk just as was getting dark. Had planned it that way as fancied a walk through the village and don’t like doing that in daylight. The curtain twitching can be rather annoying. Feel like an alien at times. Honestly.
Just wanted something different on my walk, and quite enjoy walking past people’s…

KOOL-AID: mania yes, happiness, no
KOOL-AID: mania yes, happiness, no
When I was diagnosed as bi-polar, it was a bit of a shock. Firstly, I didn’t understand what it was. ‘Manic depressive,’ it was explained to me. Which makes you wonder why they insist on calling it bi-polar when everyone needs the explanation of ‘manic depressive’ to understand it.
I’ll tell you why. Because people with bi-polar don’t always experience mania.
Have never experienced happiness.

KOOL-AID: a cult’s guide to cleaning
Didn’t even think about it. Windows were dirty. Normally would not care about this. Am not saying am a dirty person. No. I do like things clean. Is easy in the gatehouse. Not much stuff. Floors are wooden so a sweep and going-over with a damp cloth is enough.
Have not normally been concerned with windows. Not like Mum. She was nuts over them. Our flat was on the first floor and she damn near…

KOOL-AID: pathetic state of affairs
‘How was your weekend?’
Is it possible to ask that question in sarcastic tones? Because I think Landlord did. Was almost snarky. Cripes, after all this time referring to him as Landlord, do not want to have to change it to Snarky.
He was at the kitchen table when I came in. I have a key so I let myself in now. Saves time waiting in the cold for Landlord to come to the door.
Seriously, have never…

Ah, yes, I remember. This country goes slightly crazy when it shows. As if a natural occurrence in this climate is some kind of cataclysmic event.
It’s snow, folks, snow. Deal with it.
Having said that, am quite like the rest of the country when it snows It’s like the seven stages of grief.
You wake up in the morning, confused,…

KOOL-AID: because it's policy
KOOL-AID: because it’s policy
Why am I so worried about what the church will do? Because it’s policy. Attack enemies of the church. It’s in writing. When they say attack, what they mean is, aggressively attack. Do everything possible to bring down the enemy.
Private detectives are hired, dirt is found. You’ll be brought down, no matter what.
But who is an enemy of the church? Well. Anyone who speaks out about them, for one.…

KOOL-AID: checkmate
When I was young, my dad taught me how to play chess. In his usual style, though, he only explained half of what I needed to know before we launched into our first game. Whether out of impatience or because he wanted to win, am not sure. Any how, it wasn’t long before I was pawn-less, castle-less, down one bishop and both knights. A triumphant look spread across my father’s face and he moved his…

KOOL-AID: taking a stroll
Things are companionable between Landlord and I. And quiet. Like a magnet, am drawn to the house every day, sitting down to lunch in silence, returning home, and then back to the main house for dinner.
Am enjoying cooking. Is the freedom of it, I think. But also, feel as though am doing a proper good thing in cooking. Have been doing a lot of research on what’s best to eat when you have…

KOOL-AID: it’s okay. am not dead
It was what I guess you would call “an episode.” Have read the two posts I made that day and can see may have been obvious to you folks reading this. The dribble!
It got a lot worse. Has been a long while since have been like this. Church will say is because they were helping me but in all honesty think was so depressed my manic side had no air to breathe.

KOOL-AID: apparently am odd
Went to house and said to Landlord that was not going to fuck him and he said to me that was acting weird and we had a huge argument about it. Treated me like was mental patient. Kept saying name is quiet, soothing tone. Was fucking ridiculous. I mean, who the fuck does he think he is talking to me like that. Fuck him. Of course am now bored. May go see if Policeman is home.
