Cactus

Yesterday i got in the last of the houseplants from outside, where i put them for the summer,i have a very large Yucca plant,a Swiss cheese plant which i grew from a cutting from my Mums plant,a very large columnar cactus which i bought because i let the one i had grown from seed in the 80's to get frosted in one of the minus 8 temperature drops a few years ago.I had built a lean-to where i kept all of the plants,and it was right against the wall,so i didn't think that it would be affected, i was so sad because it was taller than me and in a pot i made at college...
Its another frustrating day for me, i wanted to go to the caravan today,but as usual Ben is not up in time and as it takes quite a long time to get there there will not be enough daylight left to go....i have hardly got any food in the house as i have been trying to go for about a week now.I have managed to scrape some food together today, but there is nothing left for tomorrow so hopefully it will mean i have to go tomorrow!
Mike has rung me up twice over the last few days... i sent him some money to cover the money he has spent fixing the tank, i have offered to pay for parking the Trike on his drive, which he refused to accept,he is trying to be friendly but i really do not want to be friends with him, i know it is not his fault as he has a mental condition, but i refuse to be intimidated or have veiled implications, he has had many other friends, but two of them in particular, he targeted like me,and not when he was ill, neither of them are his friends now....it is sad but unavoidable..
