The lady on the bike

Last night I was on the phone to someone (famous landlady) and there was a knock at the door. My landlady friend then said 'Oh - it's a young lady on a bike'. The young lady on a bike then said that she'd come round to watch a video and she wasn't young. Then she asked the famous landlady why the lights had all been switched off. I ended the call then.

We have just been to the garden centre and got a lychnis for Liz that should turn orange (here's another orange flower to tide you over ). Also today we are off out tonight in Brussels downtown. I have just read an interesting OU text about High Albania in the Edwardian era - you can also trace the background in the Times (one of the perks of the OU Library - I'm only in it twice though I think).

This is a lychnis (Greek for 'lamp'). As you can see, it kind of glows in the dark (this was about 2130 on a summer's night). We are going to find another one and plant it in memory of Liz Ayers. I don't mean Liz glowed or was Greek or was pink btw, although of course many people are. Sorry about the blurred photo.
