Sow, grow, throw November

Sorry about your Aunt, FEW. There's a lesson there to most of us about keeping things for best and not using and enjoying them while you can.

Sow-vember - Wiltshire Ripple sweet peas.
Grow-vember - split an aloe vera and will pot the offshoots up in a couple of days.
Throw-vember -  Attacked a little used Diary from 2016. Ripped out any pages that had been written on and added them to my collection . Pulled out all the blank pages to be used for scribbling on, I get through lots of scrap paper when I go out to collect Freebies - writing down address, directions, times, names etc. I don't use Sat-nav, preferring to rely on my scribbles.

Why don't you use sat nav? I have a little in-built app on my phone which gets me wherever I need to be. A lifesaver as far as I am concerned and saves me asking directions,cruising at low speed trying to find an address and does away with scribbled notes!

My car has sat nav. I've used it once on a route I knew. It told me to turn right at traffic lights where I knew that a right turn was illegal. Lost confidence in it. I usually put the map function on the screen, just to check when I'm near my destination. Goggle maps is great for "driving" the route before you go. This morning, I'm off to an area of the city that I haven't been to before and, thanks to Goggle maps, I know where to turn off, what the house looks like, where I can park and that there's a park next door.........but I still have my scribbles.
