I had a long week, my (paternal) grandmother passed away last Friday. I have no grandmothers around anymore, and knowing that really really sucks.
A story about flowers: a few years ago, on my birthday, I received some lilies as well as a nice expensive-ish kitchen knife for presents. Back then, we were living in a tiny space, no obvious division between kitchen/dining/living kind of small space. I had the lilies in a glass bottle next to the sink, and next to the glass bottle next to the sink was my drying rack where the knife was resting to dry. Indie (our cat) jumped onto the kitchen sink, I was standing there and got a nice fright. I jerked and somehow caused the lilies to fall onto the knife. The lilies were in bloom and its yellow pollen pollinated the knife, entirely. Birthday flowers killed birthday knife…
Since then, I’m not fond of lilies. Or having flowers in vessels. Pollenphobia. Am open to potted plants tho.
This is inside the Cloud Forest conservatory at Gardens by the Bay. It’s pretty amazing what they did with the place. Closeups to come!
Here are two cafes that really impressed me with their delicious food and smooth lattes. Carpenter and Cook on the top and Henry Congressional below.
