They’re lovely, aren’t they, I have perhaps 5 or 6 bushes in my garden and they flower all year round.
It’s not just the beauty of the colours in their floral display that attracts me (and mine flower for the full 12 months of the year) but the scent.
I have them in my driveway, no matter what time of year nor what time of night, as I get out of my car I have this wonderful smell of the plants reminding me that I’m home!
But this isn’t a gardening post, oh no, I need a bit of help.
I wanted to send a pal of mine a SMS (text message.) I loaned him some money on Thursday, he promised to repay me the next day, Friday and today’s Saturday, so I wanted a quick quip that reads something along the lines of “your tomorrow on Thursday is Yesterday, today is a day too late etc…”
It’s got to be funny, any ideas?

Too early to quip round here!
Yesterday today and tomorrow will not grow outside in the UK or here, strictly a conservatory plant.
There is a beautiful plant in the Birmingham Botanic gardens in the greenhouses which I used to see every day with the boy.
Hello Mrs.O
I have them in full sun, almost full shade (perhaps an hour of sun in the morning) and mostly shade with a little sun in the afternoon, also one under a huge tree so sunlight is at best erratic, makes no difference, they grow, flower and smell, a remarkable plant. And very pleasant on the eye!
I’d love to have some in my garden but alas, it’s not possible, Soutie.
I’m not very good at quips either but I’d be tempted to send a message asking your friend if you owe him any money, because you are becoming quite forgetful these days, to the point that you sometimes don’t know what day it is!
That should do the trick.
Evening Ara
We had a beer together today and he paid me, there was never a problem. i was just annoyed with myself that I couldn’t think of an amusing quip this morning and thought I’d seek advice!
Something along the lines of your tomorrows are now my yesterdays but tomorrow’s yesterday…. blah blah blah.. including the word ‘today’ somewhere was what I was hoping for.
The bushes are really nice, pity we cant get the scent transferred to these pages, perhaps one day!
Ah, I’m pleased your friend paid up, Soutie.
I have to content myself with the fleeting smell of lavender, herbs and honeysuckle which grow close to my kitchen door.
We have a couple of bushes at the end of the garden. They do not bloom all year – but we know spring is here when they start growing flowers. 🙂
Morning Ara, no problems there, You may have noticed the post’s ‘competition’ category, perhaps I’m having withdrawal symptoms from the non-reinstatement of our poetry comps! 😉
Any volunteers? Pseu? Bearsy?
I do try the writing ones but have difficulty getting my 3 hour blockbuster plots down to a two page essay 🙂
Hello Boadicea, in the words of our Jock legal eagle ‘I could of course be wrong’ but they do seem to flower for what seems forever. 🙂
Something along the lines of that old war adage:
Jam yesterday, jam tomorrow – but never jam today. ???
Friend yesterday, friend tomorrow, better pay today?
