A pair of bosoms have kept me up all night
I bet you never thought you'd hear me ever say that did you.?
Yesterday I did too much work, clearing stones and preparing the allotments
Bosoms' first two plots are now ready for fencing ( which should arrive today)
And then planting.
However all the lugging and carrying yesterday has had it's effect on my sciatica
Which has kept me awake for most of the night.
Buttock aches at 3am are not a laughing matter.
Anyhow, I think I need to remind people just why my allotment has been given the name of bosoms in the first place.
I have to thank the RFWF for that one.
A year or so ago, I asked him to think of a nickname for the allotments.. Like Cro has for his vegetable plot ( he calls his Haddocks)
The RFWF looked at me as if I was a loon, but gave the job a little thought when I added that the nickname could be something he perhaps liked or indeed greatly admired
I rest my case
Bosoms was thus named.
Anyhow I will have a day off from bosoms,geese and from country ways tomorrow as I am off to South Yorkshire for a long overdue catch up with some old friends.
I am having " tea" with my old spinal injury days matron " ohhhhh matron!" then will catch up with Zara wearing old queen John, comic fan Mike and old girlfriend Jane....
I've even ironed a clean top for the occasion
Queen may be, old never...
ReplyDeleteSee you tomorrow
DeleteIs that your orange agent provocateur bra I spy?
ReplyDeleteLLX
Take care with the sciatica thing and apart from that, enjoy the trip!
ReplyDeleteI will KK
DeleteErr...the Sheffield Wheel was dismantled some time ago! You seem to have done a great job with your Bosoms. The soil looks amazingly dry and - thanks to your efforts - nicely weed and stone free. Have a great time in The Steel City.
ReplyDeleteBugger...I will miss the wheel..it gave the skyline a rather graceful air
DeletePlease don't address me as "Bugger" - most ungentlemanly.
Delete"I've even ironed a clean top for the occasion"
ReplyDeleteSteady on. Have a nice day Nx
It WAS my WALKING DEAD. T shirt nige
DeleteI attacked my plot yesterday as well, and am now paying the price. Definitely 'raised beds' next year; my back is done for.
ReplyDeleteI should be fitter at my age cro..I am only 50
DeleteThat's it - I am going to name my vegetable patch 'Buttocks'. 7 out of 10 for the title.
ReplyDeleteActually, you have just reminded me that I have a female friend with a smallholding which she has named, 'Merkin Farm'. Do you know what a 'merkin' was, and if so, have you any idea why you would need one?!
DeleteI have just googled it.....yerch
DeleteBut (to quote Heron) WHY?
DeleteTom, I'm sure I heard George Bush say that he was proud to be a merkin...;o)

DeleteOK so I looked up "merkin" after I made a comment which made no sense...I agree with Kitty I too heard that dubya comment,,,on more than one occasion!!!
Deletethe day YOU go for bosoms is the day I go for bosoms, which is NEVER for both of us!
ReplyDeleteclean yourself up and enjoy your holiday!
Sorry about your night time buttock pain John. I'm trying to think of a good name for the very unsightly cloche that appeared in our vegetable garden yesterday. Could the plastic not have been clear? Did it have to have 'The Futon Company' emblazoned on it in sun blocking black? We're back to the control freak thing here. I'm gritting my teeth....
ReplyDeleteToms " buttocks" would be a good start
DeleteWhatever you care to call that allotment John - and bosoms is as good as anything else - it will still give you the same aching back. I am suffering too. We have an electric all-night blanket on our bed and I kept it on a little while to easy my aches and pains last night - then went to sleep and woke up at around three this morning absolutely boiling hot. Back still hurts. Have a nice day in South Yorkshire.
ReplyDeleteThank you pat x
DeleteAll this time I'd taken 'Bosoms' to reflect the bountiful, nurturing banquet of goodies your allotment produces. Of course I was wrong, and of course the real story is so much better...! Enjoy your trip, John. :-D
ReplyDeleteCould have been worse kris..it could have been TITS
DeleteFine job on preparing your bosoms, not a rock in sight.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with friends, back in the old stomping ground, you'll forget all about your sciatica once you get together !
~Jo
That's what I am hoping jo
DeleteI know what Zara is, but Zara wearing Queen is a new expression to me. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteIf you saw my friend John... You would understand
DeleteMy bosoms have also given me an aching back.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like Barbara Windsor
DeleteHopefully the change of pace will help to settle the aches and pains.
ReplyDeleteThe bosoms look ample and ready for planting. A pelvic adjustment did wonders for my sciatica. Have fun!

Enjoy your well deserved break!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your respite and know the bosoms await your return.
ReplyDeleteBet your ironed top will be covered in dog snot before you get away...
ReplyDeleteOh how you know me note
DeleteHa! And here I was pronounced your Bosoms like Higgs Boson!
ReplyDeleteAs a long time chiropractic patient one suggestion that may help your sciatia, lay on the floor flat on your back, pull your knees to your chest then slowly move your legs to the right and left. Sometimes that is all you need to stretch the muscles and pop the bones back where they belong. Have a great time visiting friends and hopefully you get this before you leave so you can try it out and perhaps have a pain free adventure. Can't hurt to try it, right?
ReplyDeleteJust done what. You said on. The field......it's helped a little
DeleteIroned?
ReplyDeleteNice job, hope you have a great time away.
ReplyDeleteI think it's fantastic and utterly appropriate for the RFWF to be memorialized in this way. Makes me think I should name my veg bed Bollocks. I like it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day out.....and as Joe said 'you can leave your hat on'....
ReplyDeleteyou're priceless John...would there be any laughter in my soul at all if I didn't have your daily happenings to read about...I think not :D I wondered about those Bosoms...excellent choice! look forward to hearing about your "day out" and how long that nicely ironed shirt remains spotless!
ReplyDeleteMy bet I would have dribbled something down it, as soon as I get on the train
DeleteLooks like you have some friendly ground there.
ReplyDeletePain in the buttocks IS no laughing matter, I agree.
Ironed... You ironed? You actually use an iron?
I hope you enjoyed your day!
Cheeky bitch
DeleteEnjoy your day out in S Yorks and look after your back xx
ReplyDeleteHave you tried a deep massage for your sciatica and could you expand on the phrase 'old girlfriend, Jane'?
ReplyDeleteHave a good trip me old hearty. x
I dated ladies a long time ago nana
DeleteGood to have that done and ready for your return! Did you use a rototiller? Or did you do it all by hand? Nice job!
ReplyDeleteNow be good in the big city John!
God speed and have mad smashing fun John Tell Zara I said hello.
ReplyDeleteSorry I am always a day late and a dollar short getting here, off I go to back track .
I really do hope you have a grand ole time.
xoxo Willow
Have a great trip - you deserve some time off.
ReplyDelete3am ass aches! Haha!
ReplyDeleteGOod lord. Time to name my vegetable garden! How about Man-sack?
ReplyDeleteI've had sciatica problems before...not fun! You have my sympathies.
ReplyDeleteHow long before you're back on those bosoms? :D
I love your Bosoms, all nice and ample and cleaned up, ready for planting seed in...er, wait...did I just say that? Feel better, I've had that same pain and it can be horrendous.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your day off and can do so without pain. ♥
ReplyDeleteMy garden has the rather boring name, "Peace Thyme Garden". But, it will still be winter here this week, for sure. 10 inches of snow expected between this evening and tomorrow evening. I LOVE Colorado! All my seeded little paper cups are inside just waiting till they can get transplanted! Happy spring to you and your critters!
