Today I went to Nancy Nightingale’s for a singing lesson. Unfortunately I am booked in for tomorrow. The wrong day. Embarrassing. It has happened before.
So without pause, ostensibly to divert attention away from my stupidity and inability to read a diary, I am going to share a picture of Cephalaria gigantea. Definitely one hundred percent right.

Love that, another new plant for me.

Another IXUS. The locals are spared for another day. Yellow scabious. Nice. English names don’t change like the Latin ones. BTW, Both. Current countdown?

Another favourite of mine, that scabious. And foxglove! And is that Knautia in the background? I’ve gotten so distrustful of my memory lately that I find myself constantly checking my daybook. It’s not memory loss, it’s distraction.

No that is cirsium, but I can see why you would think it was knautia. I am also very easily distracted!

It’s the colour that fooled me – that wine red. I’d love to see a closeup of cirsium when it comes around again.

Okay; this will make you laugh, and is more inane than getting the wrong date. I was explaining to a young gentleman about how big old sedans were back in the 1970s and even into the 1980s. I drove an Electra, the big Buick. On more than one occasion, while in a hurry, whether because I was rushed, or just trying to avoid the rain, I ran for the car, opened the door, jumped in, only to find no steering wheel. The car was so big that if one was not watching where one was going, one could jump in the wrong door. I was in the back seat.

I love those big old American cars, I can’t imagine what it would be like trying to park one though!

It was not a problem back when the were popular, although parallel parking took a bit of effort. Parking spaces are too small for them now.
