A cry for help
It’s really late. I should be in bed as I have to get up at 5:45am in order to catch a train to Bristol for a day full of meetings.
Meetings usually make me want to tear off my knickers, wave them in the air and run around the room shouting “I’m a pumpkin! I’m a pumpkin!”
I don’t think it would be a pretty sight.
I have so far always successfully resited this urge, but I am concerned about my ability to do so tomorrow.
Wish me luck, guys - I don’t want to be writing this stuff full time!

mmmmm… knickers… Oh, I’m sorry. Did I type that out loud?
Meetings? Yup. Bad juju and no mistake and in my new job I’ve got even more of them but from now on will be attending commando in order to avoid a ‘pumpkin moment’. Although the thought of me running around the Partnership meeting half-naked and loudly proclaiming to be a donkey has some attractive features, don’t you think
Now stop beating yourself up about the plot – I’d offer to send you a cyber-vibe, but that just sounds filthy! I only got an hour done collecting leaves this weekend and Weekend Gardener is in the same boat (see: http://trilliumsgarden.blogspo.....ntial.html). Now over with the Allotment Lady is where all the action is – check out her chooks!

AAhhhh lovie - sending you one of those hugs that only big boobied mommies give - you know the ones that totally envelope you with arms that go round you and feel like you are well and truely hugged! Anyway - enough of this crap about not doing anything on the allotment. Cosy chair, bottle of red, seed catalogues and a pad and pencil. Plan for next year. The trees know its winter and they have chucked off their leaves and gone into hibernation. The grass no longer grows with any verve and weeds don’t grow coz its cold and……and………. well I know there’s the odd squirrel burying his nuts but thats what squirrels do - AND they have a fur coat to keep them warm. No - the place to be is inside where its warm drawing up plans for next year. Everything will grow when its spring (yeah think of those bloody weeds) and we will all want to be out there doing our bit. When did you get your allotment? MMMMM? Well???? Had anyone done anything to your allotment over the winter and did ye not harvest the fruits of your labour that year? So why feel guilty about it? Hell you put your broad beans in the ground in the winter and then cover them over and let the poor little blighters freeze under a bit of fleece for what? To be 2 weeks ahead in the spring? You could put em in pots in a cold frame in the garden and then transplant them to the allotment at a later date! Having said this we have put our broad beans in already (it was done without prior consultation with the management and without supervision - a dangerous move in anyones book and just because he has now turned 50 does not mean that HE can just do things half cocked IF you are reading this - comprende?) The winter is cold for us to chill - and we should! Anyway - I may need some help psychologically as have made a total balls up of something…………. will be in touch.

I’m with Joolz! Well, apart from the shouting and drooling bits - other than that it was all quite sane. Get the plans out and dream of the future whilst enjoying living in the now (with soup, dvds and warm socks)
Dr HB has spaketh again!

oh great Burro - we are not worthy of thy grand manifestations! (Wow whatever that means it sounds really good for me!)

Great Manifestations is right! I should be in the Lancet!

I have absolutely no idea what on earth is going on here, but I do feel very supported and encouraged, so perhaps that’s all that matters!
And I managed to keep my knickers on at work which is always an advantage. Not to mention warmer in this weather.

“And I managed to keep my knickers on at work which is always an advantage”
Not for strippers, pole dancers and Paris Hilton, young lady!

HB - perhaps you should be a member of the magic circle with those great manifestations? Or the Unwritten Sequels of Charles Dickens Society.
And just exactly what kind of visitors do you think I’m going to get turning up now after your last comment? Tsk.
