I am sorry it didn't work out

Posted on Wed, 02 Aug 2023

I am sorry it didn't work out this year. My flowerbed was not so good, either. As Rhiannon says, weather is maybe the cause, though wildflowers do not like to be told what to do I have found :0) So, when they DO flower it is even more special!...

I liked your description of gallantry, drinking Maria's Rakia so Priyatelkata didn't have to :0) And the description of the lift very much too. I had only heard about teflon being a result of space travel technology so justifying the huge amount...
