sjw...

so back to the idyllic countryside and my crumbling messy old shack and the curse of the zombie vampires etc...

yup back to isolation amidst the nasties...

so I am going to pick st. john's wort...

it's that season it seems...

in french = Chasse-diable ou Millerpertuis

Gouverné par le soleil, que veux nous dire le Millepertuis dont les feuilles sont percées de plein de petits trous?
Que telle une passoire végétale, le "mauvais" passe à travers?
C'est au creux de l'hiver quand la cohorte des diables, des démons et des fantômes apparaît, qu'il faut le consommer et surtout pas au soleil au solstice d'été car il vous brûlerait la peau!

according to some plant folk nature brings forth cures to match the local ills...

so sjw is called demon chaser so maybe to survive amidst the evil spirits here I need to grab as many sacks of sjw as I can...

it seems like it is to be gathered in summer but used in winter...

but the demons are here all year round...

I tried it last year but it didn't seem to have any effect at all but it's free so I'll grab some anyway...

I wonder if you can smoke it...?

in fact any advice on what to do with it would be cool as I have gathered quite a lot of the stuff...

and there is more out there... hahaha

supposed to be an anti depressant, try it.

well it tastes ok as a herbal tea...

doesn't seem to do much else though...

certainly hasn't chased away the demons that live here...

but collecting it is fun and I have sackloads I need to store and use up somehow...

Have you ever been on a regular dosage of the stuff? It's supposed to work wonders for some people.

Just don't quit taking it cold-turkey or you can get all twitchy n' stuff.

it's like tea...

I kinda drink some whilst it's around in the summer until it's gone but it doesn't really have any effect to get withdrawal from...

I kinda do it for superstitious reasons... hahaha

wear some under your left armpit, this will ward off bad luck and sickness...but for this to work you must find the sjw by chance not design.!

well what happens if I collect sackloads more or less by design and then leave it lying around the kitchen to rot...?

so if wort was worth it's weight in gold I'd swap it for a porsche or something...

but for now I have a lot of wort but no plan for dealing with it all...
