Purple crocus in my garden
We had an anti-social weekend - and spent the whole time cleaning or delivering political leaflets.
In our down time, I don't know what the Vol-in-Law did, but I worked on my photo book of our vacation in France. I think I've nearly finished - except for the proofing. Regular readers of this blog may doubt my ability to proof - riddled as my posts are with typos, transatlantic misspellings, homophonic offenses and lazy sentence construction.

From Reuters:
The warmth of 2006 and mild winter to date have encouraged the Titan Arum or Corpse Flower into a phenomenal growth spurt and into flower -- an event that usually happens only once every six to nine years.
"The Titan, standing at 164 cms tall is now giving off a revolting stink," said curator Don Murray. "It is a cross between rotten cheese, dog poo and something dead."
Yummy. Time for a road trip to Cornwall where the Eden Project is located.
I could have seen that thing (well, a similar one) at Kew - and didn't go. I have seen it post-flowering - it's not so stinky and it's pretty impressive.
On the other hand, I haven't been to the Eden project and I'd really like to see that.
