I am off liquor for a month.

After a couple of rough weekends (all be it very fun rough weekends) and a series of work dinners, receptions, cocktail hours, Argentina day celebrations etc. I feel like I am fully saturated with alcohol.

I think it will take at least a month to get my poor body back into shape.

In between drinking way too much I did finish planting flowers in the back garden - well almost.

This weekend the city was giving away 24 flowers for planting to each resident starting at 9am on Saturday. By noon on Saturday they had completely run out which seems like either false advertising or poor planning. Either way I have a number of pots which remain empty and a bag of dirt with nowhere to go.

We did spread compost in our planters for the first time ever, and even mixed sand into the dirt in an attempt to save our rapidly declining Basil. For us this is very hands on gardening - I’ll let you know if it actually works.
