A bit seedy

There are quite a few poppy seed heads in the garden now. Apart from looking (I think) quite attractive, they were used for various purposes by ancient civilisations such as the Sumerians, the ancient Egyptians and Minoans. Uses have included the promotion of sleep, fertility and wealth and even, apparently, invisibility. I must get pressing them!

In other news, a regular kind of day at work except that I have neck and shoulder pain, headache and a numb cheek which started yesterday. Maybe poppy seeds could be the answer ;)
