I am finding myself writing a blog that mirrors that bloody awful 1970's tv series That's Life!
Yesterday I had a romp through the subject of grief and today I am going to concentrate on tap dancing ducklings and rude vegetables...
oh the black and white of the phenomenon of "Going Gently".
This morning the seven ducklings gave me a loud rendition of "There's no business like Show business!" when I went in to feed and clean them. There are two that are noticeable smaller than the others but all seem healthy and I can see no runts or weaklings.
Yesterday I spent a strangely hot day in the allotment. I dug up the first of the salad potatoes watched closely by the geese who pulled gently at my tee shirt when I was bent over the vegetable patch.They stood there with me for a good hour or so
As soon as I found this potato I immediately thought of fellow Blogger the smutty minded Tracey over at http://tracey-craftyscraps.blogspot.com/
I can't believe that I actually photographed it! But photograph it I did.... I suspect it will give her a laugh
The artichokes are growing beautifully in the bottom vegetable bed (I have never grown them before) I wonder if someone out there can tell me when I can actually tell when they are ripe and ready to eat?
and my chili plant is laden with ripening chillies
and let's not forget my marrows
From today I am back on weight watchers (I had difficulty cocking my leg over the pig fencing in the turkey run yesterday...and actually broke wind loudly when I did so!" (much to the shocked amusement of the postman who was on the other side of the hedge).....Being middle aged means that the odd extra piece of bread or added potato shoots directly onto my midriff and the battle of the bulge will now be a lifelong battle rather than a one off success at fat fighters!
......the only incentives I need, is to be in control of my flatulence in public! and to be able to cram my arse into my newest pair of combat pants!
tee hee.....and
hey ho
