"Someone with an obsession for arranging things in alphabetical order was an abcedist, whereas someone with an obsession for arranging them in reverse alphabetical order was a zyxedist."

In lieu of giving up

 Insomnia is an inhumane bastard. Therefore no dreams. Tempted to throw in the towel, but don't want the sleep thief to win this game, so instead I will look at pictures of my favourite places, those wonderful spots of nature that I have no physical energy to get to in the flesh.
This is the pathway leading into the beautiful, magical Woodland Walk, at the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens, in South Africa. It's even better when the Clivia are wide awake and have taken over the area; then it's a heavenly spectacle of orange and yellow beauties.  



And this is a gorgeous patch of Bluebells, in the stunning Kew Gardens, London, taken when I was on holiday in the UK, in May 2010
