dear bluejunilla, i just can't have you sat here talking all to yourself, so i'll tell you that today a small boy walked past my window swinging a freshly snipped daffodil in one hand and a bottle of water in the other. as he walked, the bold boy repeatedly smacked the daffodil with the bottle of water. i'm sure there was a tune in his head somewhere but the daffodil was struggling to keep up and i thought of you and the outrage you would have felt at seeing what i saw and then i was glad that, particularly given the week you've had, you didn't:)

Oh don't worry too much, I spend a great deal of my time talking to myself afterall, this is just a whole new media through which to do it. I concur with the thought that your daffodils are not only wonderfully creative but intensely cheering on a Monday morning :) I would indeed have found the daffodil assault very upsetting, it's not like the world is in a position to be able to absorb the wanton loss of daffodils at the moment. I think that what this, partcularly combined with Viola's incites, should remind us of, is that children are not very nice people and should be watched carefully at all times ;)
