A fella, construction worker, on his break just anon-ish bought me a coffee at Max’s. Stood in the queue, extremement jetlag and out of it, fresh of the plane, having bumped into my good friend Ita (how lovely is that! Letterfrack on a Vancouver morning.) in my Catherine Deneuve raincoat he just passed it to me.<\/p>\n
God bless him, you gotta love the navvies they understand fatigue. So whacked out I could barely thank the stranger, so Ita was left to remark on him “that was very nice.”<\/p>\n
I think it’s the raincoat. I knew it would improve me. My small male assured me of it. My sis had been complaining that she \u00a0did not like the old green MEC mac, <\/em>so there was pressure to improve. <\/em>Dublin-style an all. Molly was mad on style let’s not forget.<\/p>\n Vancouver is always lovely when I return, weatherwise, ever bright blue, just for that first hour of along the street beleagured wandering, enough to say bienvenue. After that it can do whatever it wants!<\/p>\n And the garden, or the patch of garden is a credit to that blue. Aside from the fox-got-the-beans drama.<\/p>\n Gardeners: my pototaoes are high with green foliage and white flowers, should I pull them now? They rather overshadow the tomato plants. Or does that only mean I’ve too much nitrogen in my soil and when I pull them will it be a sad affair below the surface that could lead to regret? Advice please.<\/p>\n Also there’s some white thing, root veg, might be a turnip pushing up, it looks fat but not as I imagine turnips to look since it’s long, fat looking. I’ve no idea what it is at all.<\/p>\n And why no lettuce has appeared despite a plethora of planting? Is it my soil? If spuds are happy and lettuce is not: what’s up??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A fella, construction worker, on his break just anon-ish bought me a coffee at Max’s.
