Trala’s Tent

[Carmen Ray]

I grew up on There by the grace of God go I. Your story made me tear up. I lost a dear friend to lung cancer last year. It was misdiagnosed as Fibromyalgia. I just lit my pipe to Greg. I think it is quite something that the fates brought you together again at this time. Big heart!

 

[Bill284]

Omg I’m so bummed. I got a sad story and I’m gonna offload.

So as many of you know, I’m from welfare. It was only thanks to some good choices and luck that I was able to meet the people I needed to get better, have opportunities and educate myself, but I know my roots and I have empathy for a welfare bum ,coz what’s that saying “but there through the grace of god go I”? Or something like that. Basically it’s a fancy way of saying that could be you, meaning me.

So when I bought this house, not I, my partner in crime and I bought this house we went to the local Bowlsie for dinner. Rough bowlsie really. The sort of place you can still smoke in. And it’s full of yobbos with bad tats and missing teeth. So we buy some raffle tickets, and we don’t win, we play barefoot bowls with the locals and had the best night. As we were leaving this very obvious bum, missing teeth bad tats an all gives us the meat tray he won and says “welcome to the neighbourhood”. It fucking touched my heart coz I could see that sausage and pork chop tray would have saved him food money.

From then on every time we went to the bowlsie I would anonymously put $20 on his tab. And over the next 3 years I got to know him. He lived 2km into my daily circuit walk right beside the bowlsie. He got a carers pension for taking care of his dad (terrible care lol) and I was shocked he was only 55. Never worked, small time dealer, semi affiliated with the local bikie club and an alco. But there through the grace of god go I, and I just loved him from afar. So when I started growing, I told him my son the grower wanted a tester, and I would drop a jar in his mailbox, and he would put it back out when he finished. No charge or anything of course. He always called me his weed fairy, and tbh I don’t think he ever knew my name coz he just always called me “darlin”. So this went on for about 18 months. It made me feel so good to make him feel good. Then suddenly the owners of the dump he was renting wanted him and his dad out. And I lost touch from there. I mean we were never friends. He was just someone I could have been.

Well today as I’m walking out of my ward, he is being wheeled in. He has lung cancer, which has metastasised and he’s basically fucked. I went back to my ward and sat with him for an hour, and while it’s not my circus or my monkey for that matter, I just feel so super sad for him.

I just want to add, if you have a cough, that is prolonged or feels different, or shoulder/back pain that isn’t muscle related, or you have lost weight without trying don’t fucking sit on it. Go to your doctor. Get it checked. Many lung cancers are treatable if caught early.

So tonight when you blaze up, have one for Greg coz he’s a fucking legend. Xo

Your my my legend T. xoxo
We are not our mistakes, though they may haunt us.

Stay safe
Bill

Fucking stoked bruv

Absolutely fucking stoked.

I legit thought I would never grow another seed. I defs just cooked my Strawberry Lemonade. I built a platform so it would be just under the grow light. Full 35 degree heat bearing down on it for 5 hours. Went from the fridge to the fire.

I can be such a Fucktard sometimes.

Omg it’s that time of the week again!

Sunday Summary

So I’ve been careful to make sure my flower girls have stayed both dry and in 65% humidity. My DEhumidifier has been going flat chat. They got a light sprinkling of rain just then for photo time. I really want to do my best to reduce mould spores ruining my Coca-Cola’s. No disasters this week. Well a little disaster in cooking my Strawberry Lemonade but that was more last week. I’m so happy my lolling Buddha has decided to pop.

Hope you’re living your best life! Have the best night and please excuse my pool mess, literally gives me anxiety. This rain is starting to get on my tits. Xo

 

[Stunger]

They all look very lush Tra, nice healthy colour and growth!

 

[DeeBoy]

Omg I don’t know what a cotyledon even is lol! So I’m not sure.

I just hope she pops.

Just started a night shift an hour ago. It’s a full moon, what could go wrong?!

Good mojo planting right after a full moon… supposedly.

 

[DeeBoy]

I hope so.

In my heart I feel like I’m never going to be able to grow another seed again!

I’m always all about the trama

LOLLING!

I really do though. I am driving myself mad. Im convinced I buried it too deep. Just wait and see I guess. I only planted her on Wednesday. Still time I guess.

I felt the same way. I killed 2 in a row. Now I’ve gotten 9 in a row that have sprouted and survived. I saw a post that strongly suggest 1/2” deep = 1.2 centimeter. I marked a cone packing stick. It’s worked for me…

Hi Stunger

Thank you so much.

Growing really is such a great hobby. This grow is turning out to be my best yet, apart from that tall streak of pelican shit of an auto I have going on LOLLING #shouldhavetoppedher

I always mean to take a look at your grow, then forget. I won’t forget today

 

[Trala]

Good mojo planting right after a full moon… supposedly.

Back in the day the boys used to take off on trail bikes on the first full moon in September to plant. It was meant to be a good grow omen. This was before hydro lights and micro lens glitter shots and the interweb.

I grew Mimmy Mimosa using that rule and she was lovely till the mites got her. I think I’ll plant my other Mimosa seed the same way.

I have a depth measure thingy too. It’s a pen with a rounded bottom. Perfect for depth finding. But I use it mainly coz I hate dirt on my hands.

Look logically I grow in seed trays it would be almost impossible to bury them too deep.
