I have a little stash of test tubes, once given to me by a friend who worked in a lab (nearly 20 years ago!) Because I keep everything, I can now use a couple of these for rooting plants.
I have had my angel-wing begonia for many years and am always snipping off bits to grow into new plants. The original cutting was given to me by Di, a wonderful friend with a brilliant sense of humour and excellent bridge-playing skills, who has – very very sadly – since moved to a higher plane. I still think of her often, and still laugh about the joke she told at our first bridge get-together, about the rabbi and the prawn. It’s a killer (and clean), but has to be heard, not read. Sorry.
And hanging from the burglar bars in the kitchen, it’s nicer than the view of the paving slabs. It’s a bit overcast here today THANKS BE (yesterday was a scorcher, still recovering).
Back soon x
Nice piece of work 
Share a tiny bit of your scorching?? Great big storm… in a teacup here!!
No scorching today, just a normal spring day, quite lovely at about 24 with a nice breezy breeze :-)
I like its little jacket too. ;) I really like it when I hear abput lovely storirs such as this one.
Thanks :-)
Very good idea and they are pretty too. I especially love the crocheted pot they are resting in. Thanks for sharing. Love and Hugs, Tamara
The pot was one of a batch I’d made last year to sell at a market. No-one ever wanted this one and it’s ended up alone, but with me :-)
That proves there is a use for everything!
Yip, it’s the challenge!!!: (a) how long can you keep something, and (b) does the value of what you end up using it for outweigh the nuisance of having kept it for so long?
good idea and very nice too! :-)
Thanks :-)
Q- love this! Now I wish I still had test tubes from my days asl a chemist or science teacher.
Maybe you know someone who works in a lab, or another teacher? I do know they are very inexpensive. Thanks for commenting :-)
