Not sure about this


 
Before and after in the hallway - now it's done I'm not sure I like it! Well, I'm going to have to like it, I'm not doing it all again. The door on the left and the light surround are going to be burnt orange. Perhaps that will pick it up a bit. (The tassels are from my Ganesh-pol over the door, a woven tapestry-thing that has Ganesh on it, ensuring that only persons with good intentions enter over the threshold. Ganesh is the god of doorways, remover of obstacles and blesser of new initiatives.)
 
More gardening today. It's scary what a mess the garden can be in before I realise how messy it is. I went to Oderings annual plant-sale. It's become a little ritual, like going to the spring fairs. As usual the controversy over whether retail traders should be open over Easter has raised its weary head. The Christians say no, we should have some respect; the non-Christians say who are you to tell us to respect something we don't believe in. Gardening is my religion; I worship the Creatress every time I go out in my garden, so buying plants is part of that worship. The Easter weather has been gorgeous, warm and balmy and dry, unlike the poor persons in parts of the Northern Hemisphere who are having snow at Easter for the first time in living memory. No doubt our turn will come.
 
I seem to have acquired another cat. Only a part-time one, but little Puss-puss from over the road seems to spend more time over here lately. He went to sleep in the garden this afternoon while I gardened, and was fascinated with the watering. He seems to have hurt himself, and hisses when I put my hand on his back. Poor wee soul, hope he'll be alright.
