    I've just got the first ealy potatoes in, along with some broad beans. Most of the greenhouse is now down the allotment, but I have to dig the foundation into a trench. I will get it built, but it will take a bit of time.

    We have our Annual General Meeting this Friday too. I've got to deliver the chairman's report to the assembled crew. Should be ...er.. good.

    Same as usual. Eat, drink & be merry! I hear the sun turned up in England, so no doubt even Mick & Paul will be smiling.

    Poor Parker, I hope he still looks good in that pink thong I sent him...If it isn't sunny enough where you all are, you can come share our clouds in South Florida. It's cloudy, but hot as the devil here.

    Yeah, I guess we all started our walk abouts at the same time. Glad you're back Atheist, where the devil is Jockey? Good to see things are back to normal around here. You'll love this Paul, I have a leak in my kitchen drain pipe and one day, mowing the lawn, I noticed I had some gorgeous tomatos growing out of it. So I transplanted them...of course, now they are dead.

    I know what you mean. Though I have the allotment, I only grow stuff that is easy - potatoes being one. Carrots just won't go for me.

    Didn't us blokes put down some wagers on when you'd have that thing built a few posts back?

    Will your report delivery go something like this?:

    Nice to see you grace the floors of this hallowed place once again.

    That's a good thought. Anyone know where the old Scotty is?

    Got to be something in your soil - carrots are normally a piece of cake.

    The result of spending three months under snow?

    we've had the wind stuck in the east for many a week as well. The sheep are eating soil. Or as my octogenarian neighbour is fond of saying - "Their belly thinks their throat's bin cut."

    I don't think so - probably the temperature and when planted. I have to say, lots of the people I speak to report poor yield. I've had more success in pots - but again they were planted later.

    After a Hellacious week... two weeks before the all-important testing and we can't suspend anyone... we went out for Mexican: big burritos, chimichangas and a picture of margaritas followed by tequila shots.

    At this point nothing makes sense except:

    ^Looks like the spellcheck had a few too many as well. hehe

    Enjoy the evening !


    For me, not quite as exotic as your Celebrator, nevertheless, I happened to see this new addition to the beer aisle, so I grabbed a six pack earlier today:

    The Celebrator was the last of the beers the wife bought me for Christmas... now you know one reason why I married her.

    Yes Spell=check sucks at recognizing the wrong word: pitcher/picture or their/there/they're.

    Nothing wrong with Newcastle... never noticed the pin-ups before.

    I first had Celebrator in New York... bought by friends as I was leaving to move back to Cleveland. A fabulous beer.
