The boy with the thousand yard stare (Big Country)


Very jelly of cousin Christine, who is back in blighty after her downunder trip to Nu Zild, as she reports on snow and football.

Some advice from Catherine Collautt comes to mind: if your patch is feeling dry or looking blanched to you: try some water.
Grass needs water to grow, to be vibrant and healthy and green. It simply will not amount to much on a diet of entitlement (“It should just be green and awesome”) and neglect (“What, water it again? But I did that last month”). Give it a respectable amount of TLC and you may still find that you don’t want your patch, that perhaps you want somebody else’s; but you will at least find it to be something prettier, greener, and more comfortable to sit on as you figure out how to make your way there.

James Whatley has an interesting alternative take on this: The grass is always greener...if you water it.
Keep that in mind when the opportunity to leap comes along. The best advice I was ever given was: move towards things, not away from things.
I like this!
