in anticipation of autumn

I am with Kristina, and we have been making art work, which we are now showing to our friends. We are going to auction off our work, and see what we get for it. Kristina has done a painting in an impressionist style, and when she shows it to our friends they all love it. One of them really wants to by it, and when this picture goes up for auction he bids the highest, and pays about 600 pounds for it. Me and Kristina are surprised that it sold for so much, and Kristina is very pleased with herself.

Her mum phones her up and is also very pleased with her when she hears the news.

Kristina is happy, but she is wondering where her love is. She wants to find that special person who can love her. She is searching for that person.

Now I am with Elise and some friends. Elise has been taking photos, and using special effects on the photos to make them look weird. She had projected the photos up on a screen and it really surprised one of my friends, as the photos were strange, and magical. One of them was a picture of Elise herself, and the effect had blurred out all the face other than the eyes and mouth. It was like something from the cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland.

I am now at an event. Its a seed swap and information swap, and general social for people who are interested in growing. I am there to give out seeds and talk to people about herbs and wild medicines.

I meet Adriano and he asks me about meadow sweet. It is just flowering now, and I tell him about putting the flowers in drinks. I say that meadowsweet is a cure all, 'makes you feel human again' plant, which has been used for so many different things, that the best thing would be to look on the internet for a detailed study. We have a computer with us, so that's what we do.

Robyn is there and all of a sudden we are in the woods looking for plants....

We are back in the room with people now, I meet Diane, and chat to her about growing things and how the allotments are going. There is a table with lots of seeds on. I am just about to head off somewhere, but find a package of seeds of squash that I thought I had lost, but here it is. I am very happy.. I hope someone hadn't thought they were for giving away as it would be disappointing to find them gone.
