Conversation with my readers

Everything is ready for the team allotment event this weekend.

What team allotment event?

You know, the one where I invite a shed load of friends over to come and work a day down on our plot, building frames for raised beds, levelling paths, laying black plastic, weeding and generally being bossed about with nothing in return except food and beer and wine. And perhaps a few laughs along the way.

Oh, right. That team allotment event. I suppose you’re going to end up writing all about it.

Well, I had planned to, yes, though that does rather depend on a couple of things.

What things?

Like, how much of said beer and wine I consume, for one.

And the other?

Whether rain stops play. If it keeps raining like it has been, there will be nothing to report. I’ve got great friends, but even they are not so loyal that they would work in a torrential downpour.

Shame. Your team allotment event could become a wet t-shirt event. Much more interesting to read about.

What?

You didn’t think any of us were actually interested in growing stuff, did you? We’re only here by accident while we search for links to pornographic pumpkins, unspeakable acts with garden implements and teenage hotties with low grades. Oh yes, a wet t-shirt event would be right up our street.

…

I don’t suppose you’d settle for a picture of mucky wellies? Anybody?
