There are many nurseries on the way to my mechanic's house and of course I had to visit at least one. This is more like a giant gardening supermarket than a nursery but I went there because I needed an unusual insecticide that isn't available nearby.
Of course, there was plenty of garden crap available and so I couldn't help myself. More nasty gnomes for your viewing pleasure:
Would a fruit fountain or pissing boy with a bad moulding-job that makes him look like he has a turd on his head make your life complete?
Well, I have muddy feet but I'm going places, you know
Would you like a bunch of winos at the bottom of your garden?
Aw! Bunny haz a broken ear
I only bought one plant, because I had limited space in my bag and wanted to get anything I bought home in one piece. This is a Mesemb of the genus Alionopsis and they have really pretty striped flowers. I wanted to buy a flowering one but the shape of those plants made it certain that the leaves would get broken on the way home so I chose a little one which has a bud that is visible at the lower centre. There will be a flower soon, I hope
I also bought perlite and a block of peat for my cactus seed sprouting venture, as inspired to do by 
Packed the plant and small things into my backpack, strapped the perlite on the back and I was headed home. I managed to have a great day out and make something memorable out of a repair job for the bike. When I got home, disaster struck, but I will leave that problem for another day, hopefully when the problem is solved.
