Ground Force
It’s been like a fricken gardening programme round my house the past week or so…
I’m not the keenest gardener. I enjoy my garden, but when I was doing 12 hours days, 6 days a week, the last thing I wanted to do was go outside and bloody *prune*. So my garden became all ‘Day of the Triffids’ and started to scare the living shit out of me.
I couldn’t even look at it, let alone even begin to *think* about tackling the beast. I had to hire some help…. It should be completely finished tomorrow, but it’s looking lovely.
Hi Gia,
Your garden looks like a beautiful and tranquil space. I’m sure the effort you are putting into it will be well worth it.
Hope all is well with you. Btw, i’ve got a new email addy, so, just thought i’d let you know. I refuse to use hotmail again…they just suck.
Take care…and here’s to many glorious moments in your garden! *_*
gia, your garden looks great. love it. wish i had one. I’m in Duluth at the moment (mom’s not well) and I was going through this old filing cabinet tucked in the corner of my closet. I swear I never threw away one fucking letter or note I ever received. I’m shredding most of it (without reading them). No sense in letting that silliness get out. Anyhow. Had to smile at the ones from you. You addressed most of your letters to “Janet” (or pobatrobicobe – remember that?), and signed them Magenta, Magia and various others, including “Justine” – have to admit, I have no recollection of what that was about. Tee hee. Good times. Also found a bunch of old pics and posted them over on the duluth site.
Sorry to hear about your mom…
I used the name ‘Justine Bates’ when I wrote for the school newpaper. What a dork. I’d been using the name Justine since I was about 14… no recollection why. I’ve been called (by others) Magia, LaGia (someone misheard my name at a club in New York City once, and then stuck as a joke for years. Ugh), Genes, Gina, G, Quint, Quintessence, Miss, Myth and Miss G. And probably ‘bitch’ behind my back.
The photos are fab!
there is something magic about first picture.
Something magic, yes, but entirely unusable… Now I have an extra room which sometimes is too hot/cold/wet to use.
Ha! You don’t fool us, Gia! Own up – you’ve had that Titchmarsh fellow in!
Is this a Before / After picture?
Please don’t tell me it is… it’s just not possible.
I could see a Hobbit comming out of the top picture, and uh, a modern man from the bottom one :)
Cheers
