Or possibly rhymes with mirage? There seem to be mixed ideas about the pronunciation. Anyway, I grew some borage plants from seeds and planted it out, where it promptly took over everything in sight. My sister complained that it was blocking the light coming into the house, so I’ve had to cut it back.

Saw the first butterfly of the season in my tiny urban garden the other day. I was super chuffed. Hopefully it’ll come back when the cherry tomatoes are ready to be pollinated.

I had this cunning plan to stop the guys at work robbing my mug. I brought in the girliest mug I could find, with a big pink camellia on it.

Unfortunately, it had zero effect. It got borrowed the very next day.
