massive whinge alert!!!!! g


Shit Otter! Don't get me started on the bloody wind or I will out whinge
you for weeks!


at what point would everyone become tired of us?


Dunno, but given some of the threads we've had here, we could go on for
weeks.

I've been telling my husband about how the suicide rate goes up when the
Mistral and the Sirocco blow and since he's just about tearing out his
hair because of what the wind is doing to our pastures, he could figure
out why that happens.


it's generally accepted that vincent van gogh's most notable total
breakdown (which led to him cutting his ear & sending it to a prostitute)
was because of the wind at arles!!! i can understand that. (although i
don't know that i'll be sending any of my body parts to ladies of teh
night...)


He also spent a lot of his time almost starving himself. Lovely artworks
but totally round the twist.

thanks for that! i'm going to get some rice hull mulch too, i think! (it
would solve one of my recurring problems - how to mulch tiny things, that
is.)


If you can't easily find rice hulls then get a bag of lucerne chaff (or even
wheaten chaff) from the local horse food supplier. It works just as well.

Sodding winds.
Sodding cold.


preach it, sister!!!!!!!!!11


Amen to that!
