 No, Brain, I do not want to be awake at 5am, I don’t care how excited you are. 🤦

 @45be9337 I haven't found that problem with gold plated ones, but the only ones I've tried is John James, and they've been really good. 
 Courier charges for shipping orders are going up for my small business on October 1st 😬

Watching one of my favorite musicals while eating junk food and singing at the top of my lungs. Having a relaxing bath while listening to Taylor Swift. Hanging out with friends and going to the movies. A trip to a bookshop and buying lots of books. Cuddling my kitties.

 We must've spent at least 6 hours digging into the ground to dig out all the roots, so that our lime bush can go into that space in October.

We still haven't gotten rid of all the roots, but 80% of it is now done. The patio is a mess, covered in mounds of dirt.

So what I'm really saying is that my dahlias will count as a food source during a natural disaster and the zombie apocalypse... 🤣
