Well, I've just hit 21 years old again, and getting over a Tourettes mega phase and all the manic nonsense that accompanies it.
Hot weather is long behind us, and the leaves are falling from the trees, as well as various acorns, hazelnuts and walnuts - I planted a couple of hazelnuts I found on a pavement on our work campus. I've collected seeds from the library gardens in order to plant them in my planters, and bought some new bulbs to plant whenever I can ever clear out the weed roots from my plant pots.
I like visiting the park, although cans of shandy have replaced tea as my drink of choice, my body having decided to become wheat and dairy intolerant in my old 21 year old age. Still some nice flowers blooming at the park, and a common carder bumblebee was paying a visit.
Always the hardiest of our bumbles, it's good to see them still around, and I will miss them during the dead months, as I have done for all these 21 years.
