[ 3 round cacti in terracota pot ]Hats off to the bloke on the checkout in Homebase who, on discovering that my impulsively bought cactus had no barcode, bravely haggled with himself before settling at £2.50 - they were £2.99. Mind you, said bloke was quite obviously recovering from a night on the piss and probably wasn't overly concerned with the true marketable value of semi-lethal flora. He had that "I'm not sure if I'm going to hurl" pasty look, combined with a "I got up 5 minutes ago" appearance.

Today is a beautiful autumn day; it's sunny and refreshingly crisp, the trees are yellow, orange and red. Folks are busying around all wrapped up in big coats and hats, but it's warm enough for a t-shirt *. The mass of tourists is slowing to a trickle these days and the tour buses aren't running quite as often. In fact, despite it being Saturday, it could be said to be almost peaceful.

In other news: I seem to have misplaced my landlady. Somewhat careless a thing to do I know. I used to know where she was, but she disappeared 3 weeks ago and hasn't been heard from since. I only wonder because she's meant to be arranging to replace my geriatric fridge-freezer. It's geriatric in that it's very old, has a water retention problem and occasionally forgets what it's meant to be doing.

(* caveat: I'm from the North-East of England.)
