Domestic drama

I was going to write a fascinating blog about being at the Walkleys and seeing Stephen Mayne be pushed off stage and called a 'disgrace', but that seems so 8.00 a.m. (ie. everyone's done it already). And, I have to admit, Mayne was giving a fairly disgraceful (ie. me me me ) talk at the time so I had a moment of admiration for the pissed and pathetic Milne. But, you know, I saw it. Virginia has linked to footage of it. And I saw Eddie McGuire being teased about his development of boning talk as a management strategy. And I admired the handsomness of Anton Enos and beauty of Mary Kostikidos. etc. But, in more important developments, a friend gave us a pile of succulent cuttings this morning. Succulents

Wilson is understandably alarmed by this disturbance in the gentle rhythm of our day. Succulents and Wilson

Views from the Floor

Virginia says:

That's a lovely photo Soph. And the succulents look very succulent. As does Wilson.
