Gardening for wimps

As you may have gathered from my last post, I like my creature comforts. There is a down side to this. My garlic still needs to go into the ground, ditto the broad beans and I’m far too embarassed to let on about how much digging and general soil preparation has not been tackled yet.

I thought I might manage to make a start today, but it was soooo cold. Even our usually toasty house was cold. No, no, no. Today was a day for snuggling up with a warm milky drink, filing my new seed packets and patting myself on the back for conserving my strength by avoiding catching a chill.

I may be a wimp, but at least I’m a wimp without sniffles.

    I tell you what - we’ll make a pact. I’ll go out and do some digging this Saturday if you will. Deal?

    Saturday, alas, not possible - prior arrangements. But things are looking hopeful for Sunday.

    Nah - I don’t drink (much), I’ve no history of gay relationships and I’m not an evil twunt like that odious fat blob Galloway. I shall refrain from commenting upon sexual perversions, though ;-)
