Playing life by ear.

New trolley.

Back from the local market with super new, step climbing trolley, laden with fruit and veg plus stolen oleander cuttings with dogs waiting, behind the gate, ready to help.
Recently an aging sister in law and husband were due for a little present and guess what, trolley came to mind. She doesn't drive and he is becoming slightly confused, so I thought a trolley might help with a transition period while they become used to walking to the local shops instead of always driving to supermarket.
It happened that he hurt his back quite badly and could no longer lift heavy stuff, so the trolley turned out to be the perfect gift and is already in use.
Many years ago, we used to take some fresh basil with us when we went sailing. Once I put the basil stems in a chopped off plastic bottle and hung it from a hand rail in the cabin so that the water wouldn't spill. It rooted so quickly with a 100% success rate, that I now have new basil plants all the time and lots of new oleander plants too.
