Zombie Begonia
Not all plants die horribly immediately after I bring them home. Some manage to live despite the odds.
Others die. . . and then claw their way back from the grave.
You may remember my heavy metal begonia. It looked cute for a bit, and then it died – emphatically.
I googled begonias and decided to keep it inside, and water it less.
So, after a few weeks of having a dead plant on my writing desk, I was as surprised as anyone to see new leaves emerging beneath the dead sticks.
It’s ALIIIIIIIIVVVVVVEEEEE!!!!
I might not be good at caring for plants, but this is also not the first time I’ve watched a dead plant spontaneously revive after getting moved inside. Evidently it’s not me that kills things. . . it’s nature.

Today is day three of my writing binge, and I’m loving it. Ana decided to get in on the paperweight action (FYI, the gun on the left is a pepperbox, and the other is a Colt – the same type Ned Kelly used):

It’s obviously the psychic energy from your paperweight(s) that are responsible for the revival!

Stu: So what you’re saying is, cats cause zombies?
We really are doomed.

The life of a housecat is so difficult.
Well, it isn’t until I turn up…

W: I blame all my cats’ neuroses on you.

…Incidentally, you do realise that if Aliens are reading your blog (And I think we all know that they are…), they think that you and all of your friends and family are cats…

Ben: . . . or pot plants.
