Well - second hand roses, anyway! On Monday my mother and sister sent D-d a bouquet of roses to congratulate her on her bar results - and today D-d was going off-island for a week. So she passed the roses on to me.

Aren't they beautiful?

katherine's roses for passing her exams.



And now for something completely different...

If those who voted in my poll are anything to go by, the Bad Sex award for 2012 is most likely to go to.... Back to Blood, by Tom Wolfe!

Aren't they? They were delivered to her at work, and much admired before she too them home - and now they are brightening my house, too.

Isn't it just? I am very happy to get the last few days out of it.

For being a week old it still looks really nice.

They really are - they are beside me now, and are really brightening my evening.

Gorgeous! And how sweet of her to see to it that you got to enjoy them, too.

Wasn't it? They are absolutely lovely - and were much admired when delivered to her at work, so have brightened their office, then her flat, and now our living room!

Ooh, those are gorgeous [envy] Do they smell as lovely as they look?

Sadly they don't - you have to get your nose into them to pick up any scent...

Quite possibly one reason why my sister chose them, though - most flowers give D-d hay-fever!

Beautiful roses - ripe for pot-pourri making in a short while?

Tom Wolfe... yeah, he deserves it! That was truly awful prose, never mind the ridiculous euphemisms!

If she wants to make pot-pourri from them she is very welcome to them back...!

And now to see if the judges come to the same results as our vote did.

Aren't they? I am very happy to flower-sit them for as long as they last.

The roses are quite lovely and have gone to a good home - 1st or 2nd hand though they may be :-)

They are doing very good service - they sat on her desk at work for an afternoon, then brightened up her flat, and are now sitting beside me, brightening up breakfast.

And I need something to brighten up this morning - it is now 08.30, it is still almost dark outside, and it is raining heavily again :(

As a family we are certainly getting good value from them! They still look lovely today - not a petal dropped yet.

They are lovely - and holding up really well.
