We spent 3 hours on pulling the lavender seeds off the stalks. Mind you that we have two armful of stalks from one of my colleagues’ backyard and those are only two third of one bush and she’s got 16 bushes at home.

The whole office was full of strong lavender smell and even down the other end of arcade, I can still smell it. After an hour’s work, my nose began to feel funny and both my index fingers got black and rough. I was so over it and no longer care what the benefits lavender can have.

It’s said that the lavender bag has become a tradition for many people who come along to the CF. They just want to pick up the bag and then they will feel okay (I don’t understand this part).

To be honest, I never felt lavender’s smell was soothing or nice, neither did I understand why such strong smell could treat sinus and insomnia, although their flowers do look very pretty.
