You will realise that as the £1 bunch of Daffodils in this old pint mug have overnight responded to the failing light through the window, I will now fill the page with Daffs? So far two have opened out, and the rest are beginning to follow. Not bad for £1 from Sainsburys, and they brighten the place up no end.
In the park opposite the council daffs are standing green and ready to open. This too brightens the area. A swathe of bright yellow fills the sight, and brightens the heart. That I suppose is why people steal them rather than paying £1 at Sainsburys.
Flowers are amazing things, so slight, so colourful and of huge variety. They work also, making use of the bees to keep the world going. Do they breathe pollution in and oxygen out like trees? They certainly make the world a better place.
The park was full of youth this afternoon. I have no idea what was occurring, I thought it was a drugs fest at first, or a gang fight as in days of yore, but instead it all appeared organised, well run and left me with absolutely no idea what was going on. Most have since dispersed, youth feeding time calls, and those left gathered in small groups teenage style will no doubt disappear soon.
The past year has seen few gather here to take drugs and hang out. Each year the faces change, age catches up with them, and in recent years there has been little noise or problems. Action has been taken to remove one drug hiding place, now someone wishes to build flats there! Those that are doing deals must be doing them elsewhere these days.

Daffs are a great cheer up after a long winter. I used to order daffs and narcissi from a flower farm in the Scillies for my mother which were only a bit more expensive than the supermarket bunches and she said they really brightened her mood.
Fly, I often use those 'Flowers by post' type places, Jersay I think, to bribe women...
Bribe them to what end one wonders...doing the ironing?
Fly, Indeed! Sadly this does not work, and they are all too far off. You would get them also if I had your address.
I gave up on ironing years ago.....don't waste your money!
Fly. Tee Hee. Pity, there is a pile awaiting.
