My Happy Place

This is a picture of my happy place.

Its at Signal Hill, and this is as the sun is setting..

Wasting my Time

What is it about places-of-work and workshops anyways?

You sit in one place, for the entire day, listening to one, or two or more interminably boring people telling you things you can either google or already know. Really, what on earth is the justification for wasting an entire day of 25 people or more's time.

What else could we have been doing? Saving lives for instance. Getting real 'work' done.

And there's another day of this mandatory bullshit to look forward to tomorrow. Great.

How my garden grows

I love gardening. Theres something about the richness of soil under your fingers, the green fresh smell of the leaves and the coolness of pretty flowers to an overstressed mind.

Recently, Ive been trying my hand with roses. Delicate creatures that they are, they require specific conditions to flower.

That being the way it is, I've begun to notice that gardeners are a friendly and giving bunch. Ive recieved shoots and advice and help and seeds and compost and well..everything.. From virtual strangers who walk past when Im busy in the garden. Its amazing to exist in the kind of pay-it-forward little gardening community that keeps on giving.. Not only to myself but to the environment as well..

Blogging hiatus

Hello everyone

I'll be on a blogging hiatus due to exams.. until the end of November Inshallah.

I'll still be popping by to read your blogs, but wont be doing many comment-athons, and for that, I apologise.

My emails still the same, and I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers..

Much love,
Lamya
