One of the plants that I love in my garden is Buddleja × weyeriana, it’s basically a bright yellow buddleja (also spelt buddleia) that butterflies and bees love
At the moment it is a huge mass of yellow flowers and it’s gorgeous – it’s also huge and I suspect it bugs my neighbours so it’s just fab
Anyway, it put me in the mood for something yellow…

Now all we need is more butterflies!
Despite my almost-best efforts of keeping the courgette plants watered I clearly didn’t quite manage to give them enough as two of them have gained slight splits in the stem
The splits are bad as it means the plant is compromised so it won’t produce as well as a healthy plant and it stands a good chance of dying early
After some internet searching there seems to be a theory that covering the split with soil may help; so I’ve done that and will keep my fingers crossed that it helps!
It’s become Monday a little too quickly!
I’m not organised yet, I didn’t do plank at the weekend or use the form roller which I really need to nor did I sort out a post for today!
However The Guardian have an interesting interview with Simon Pegg which helped me understand why I didn’t like his films from the past decade and a bit so that’s handy
Still too warm to think at the moment so I wasn’t sure what I wanted to find this week, which is good because I can’t describe these nails
They remind me of star constellations with added random

Which sounds perfect right now!
About four years ago my parents bought me a Passion Flower for a birthday present – which sets a certain level of pressure from the start!
The first two years it flowered and was gorgeous, last year it did very little generally and there were no flowers to speak of
Then we had a very hard winter and I was fairly convinced it had died – even cutting it back didn’t spur any growth

So I moved it to a new pot in a new more sheltered position – which still gets sun until about 2pm ish
It’s now shown signs of life and has grown about a metre, however there are absolutely no flowers!
Thankfully this might be normal according to the internet, possible helpful things to do are make sure it has sun, frequent water and feed it with bonemeal
The first two should be ok, so I will try adding bonemeal to see what happens!
I am feeling conflicted, if I read a book that is dire and rubbish and badly written I want to have a record that I need to avoid it again – and possibly a record of an author to avoid like the plague
However I’ve never written a book so perhaps I shouldn’t condemn someone for doing something badly that I’ve never done… although I’m not condemning them personally, just their book
Sam Harris is a barely qualified geologist trying to make it in a man’s world and blah blah lost treasure, jungle, attempted rape, stereotypes abound and general dull stupid things
I skipped a chunk in the middle and got to the end, it didn’t make it any better
