Drifting through life

We've all seen those TV ads for the "Geniebra"? There's another one with the same bra under a different name ... Anyway, there's a bit where a woman is struggling to fit into a bra that's clearly several sizes too small, and the voice over says "don't waste lots of dollars on a bra that doesn't fit " (or something like that), to which I always reply, (What!! We all talk back to the TV...) "no, spend lots of dollars on a bra that does fit. You'll be more comfortable and look better." The ad also mentions underwire that digs in, "extra" boobs caused by too small cups...

The feathery green in the background is carrots.  In this tub are 4 cabbage seedlings. I really love my green vegetables. See that tiny seedling on the left in the middle? Here it is again. It's a mini cabbage. Full sized the head is firmly packed and about 4 inches across. Much more economical for a single (or two) person household. I have mini cauliflowers too, they're about the same size as this tiny cabbage. Once this lot is harvested and shared around with my family, the tubs will be dug over, have compost and a little manure added, then they'll sit idle for a couple of months before planting again w...
