I've been hanging out with meghanc and her husband, Nick, for the last month-ish. We've been knitting and shopping and eating and watching Black Books. And I introduced them to Better off Ted, which is what we're watching right now. I'd forgotten quite how much I love Better off Ted.

While at Bunnings with chaosmanor on the weekend of the 8th of Jan or so, I bought a cherry tomato plant. She's been doing most of the watering (thank you!), and gave me dynamic lifter to add to the pot when I replanted it, which means it's not only still alive, but it's flourishing! I didn't measure it when we first got it, but it's now 43 cm and growing.

Yeah, I had no idea it could do that, either. Look!

This was the aloe vera plant that I found dumped - pot and all - in the recycling bin after we moved in almost three years ago now.

I felt sorry for it, so I pulled it out and stuck it in the backyard, where I didn't quite feel sorry enough for it to do anything with it. It would go brown and limp, and then there would be rain, and it would go green and upright, and then go brown again. As samvara said once: 'We're teaching it not to trust'.

Eventually, I repotted it in the pot you see in the photo, and it burst forth with life, promptly making itself very at home in the new pot with its potting mix and stuff.

Then last night samvara was watering the various plants we have out the back, and called me out going "come check this out!"

The internet has this to say about aloe vera plants.

This is how we had the projector/DVDs/media box set up until about four hours ago:

A trip to Bunnings, a lot of drilling and shelf and couch moving later...
