i’ve been fighting the demons inside me that have been tempting me to buy plants, each day they whisper to me latin names but i’ve been stronger than them until now, because someone has posted one of my wishlist plants for sale

i’m very sick at the moment and it reminded me of another time when i lived in a sharehouse and everyone got sick and we were all discussing how it could have happened and one housemate revealed he had been sick before all of us and hadn't told anyone and then was surprised when everyone was mad

some bone-headed gronk stole my weed vape while i was out of town but jokes on them because it’s busted to shit, covered in crap and full of the tar that coats my lungs and gives me protection from COVID-19. My new vape is far superior

my gf and i sat down to watch Conclave and i was like “get ready for stanley tucci” and she just smiled at me and went “we’ll see”, then when he came out in the first 30 seconds she was like “oh… he IS in this” because she fucking thought i was imaging stanley tucci

i went to the botanic gardens over the weekend and they foolishly placed an enormous native dendrobium orchid with dozens of pups/keikis at the front gate and no cameras. Unrelated to this anecdote, i have a new orchid

a little boy saw me drawing some rock formations so he took out his little notepad and pen and started scribbling the same scene as me. I told him: ”do you know what you’re doing? It’s called en plein air — drawing outdoors. It’s french.” and he smiled and said “hehe like ‘bomboclaat‘ is french” HUH

we went to dinner last night and we were sat next to this couple who began openly mocking the server when she gave them their drinks claiming it had been “over 30 minutes“ wait even with the docket proving it had only been 15. Anyway i found the guy‘s google reviews, his facebook and his X account

my work tries to make IT security “fun” but “fun” is actually the most annoying 5 minute videos of no-name british actors pretending they finally got on an episode of The Office (UK) and if i ever see these people on the street i might black out and bludgeon them

Dendrobium kingianum - pink rock orchid. Native to the east coast of Australia. I have two of these orchids, and this particular plant always blooms at the end of winter, the other one doesn’t wake up until at least the first week of spring.

i think about what it would be like to be the colleague of the guy on tiktok who puts 12 sausages on the sandwich press along with bacon and eggs (which he does every morning) and i can’t be mad. I want to be him sooo bad. I saw him cook a steal on that sandwich press once. in the lunchroom

something fun and different — Hoya serpens, a miniature hoya species known for its small, round leaves and clusters of fragrant fluffy star-shaped flowers. Hoya are notoriously slow growing, often not growing at all for months and then suddenly, like this one, they put out all this new growth
