I lost my shit at the one behind the couch pillow.
fun fact (that won’t make this any less cute, I promise): children this age likely have not fully developed object permanence yet, so they think that just because they can’t see you, that means you can’t see them
When lockdown happened in the UK it happened very suddenly. At the law firm I work at, our office building emptied overnight when everyone was told to work from home. No time to clear our desks, no time to bring office plants home.
Fast forward three and a half months - everyone assumes that their plants are dead.
But then! An email goes round! It’s turns out that one of our security guards is a florist, and -
-the security team has moved EVERY SINGLE PLANT from all 12 FLOORS of our office building into the cafeteria. It’s been turned into a temporary greenhouse. Cacti and succulents and spider plants and terrariums and potted ferns
AND! Each plant has been INDIVIDUALLY LABELLED by hand with post-it notes with name and desk location so the plants can go home after lockdown ends
To give some indication of the scale of the endeavour:
If you zoom into the centre right photo you can see one of our security team happily waving
The plants are being taken care of tenderly. They get sun and water and are spending happy times with other plant friends
Also American pals, if smoke is in your house, hanging a wet towel will help absorb it. I did this during the bushfires here in Aus we just had and the smoke in my town was horrendous and this really worked. Stay safe
