Oh, good thought.

I agree on the uprisings being very important and a good sign (apart from Lybia, where everybody seems to make a mess out of it).

I think most people are more surprised that the US armed forces have actually managed to achieve on of their stated objectives. :) Somewhat late maybe, but they got it done.

Heeey, no indiscriminate hating on the yanks. Grissom would say "cite your sources" :D

But I agree that it's better done than not done.

Indeed it is. I have already been shopping and bought all the vegetables. It has been decided that today is a vegetables and salad day. As such the fridge is overflowing with healthy goodness. And jelly, because I wanted jelly and ice-cream.

ETA: I too have new socks. What a strange coincidence.

I'm just experimenting with Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds at the moment, so we shall see what happens the rest of the day. At the very least, it's making listening to Johnny Cash quite lovely.

Woohoo! All the vegetables! Go you! Oh, by the way, was it a good Birthday?

Good luck with the seeds, I thought at first you were attempting to propagate the plant but I see one can produce interesting things from the seeds alone. I presume copious notes will be taken. For Science. :D
