My Place

My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

Thanks guys,

I love it.
I put the straw in the picture for size.

It is quite large and heavy.

Also purple is my favourite colour.

This makes me very happy.

I have a small shiny amethyst heart that I like to hold during psychology sessions. It makes me feel calmer.

This is my thread. Not many people come here. Do you want to talk about what’s making you sad hun?

Re: My Place

@Oaktree thanks gorgeous. I think it's just loneliness. While I am not working I spend so much time at home that I think I have cabin fever.

My teeth have been causing me pain but until I have the money to get them attended to I just have to take pain killers and deal. Even though there is the government dental scheme I just don't have enough left over from Centrelink once I've paid the mortgage and all the other grown up bills.

I don't have a lot of friends anymore, until a couple of years ago I was living with my best friend and Godchildren but when I moved back to my own house my best friend cut all ties with me, along with my Godchildren. During the 8 years I spent living with her and the kids she made it difficult for me to maintain friendships with my other friends. She would text and call me if I was visiting other friends and they got so sick of her interruptions they cut ties with me. I didn't realise what she had done until I moved back home and saw that I was left with only a couple of good friends, one who lives in the US and my oldest friend. My oldest friend has other things on so I don't get to see her much even though she lives 5 minutes away.

With my front teeth missing I am too embarrassed to go out, I haven't been to church in over a year.
I shouldn't complain, there are plenty of people who have it worse. I should be grateful I have Sane and plenty of shows on Foxtel to keep me occupied.

Thanks for listening, it's nice to be able to share 🫂😍
