your place or mine?

Well, bringing it back from Naaaardge on the bus was terrifying enough.


So yours.


Well, I don't want to rish a heart-attack. I might have to have regular
doses of medicine on the way, to reassure myself.


'ang on. You wouldn't hve to travel to yours ...


looks round

Oh, that's right. I seem to be in.

Do you like
working on motorcycles?


No, but I did it for very many years. British I hope?


No. Nipponese. I also have a Krautish one, and a lot of British bits,
but the latter are in store.

Freezer jam is even more efficient...


And excellent for strawberries. Since I can't grow strawberries and won't
buy them any more that's just a memory.


Want some runners? I'm sending - er - someone - note="must make" must
look in my emu box! /note some wild strawb runners when I've got round
to rooting some. Also have some rather tasty tame strawbs. You can get a
plastic oil drum and cut holes in the side, then fill it with soil and
plant strawberries in the holes.


Believe me I've tried all sorts of ways with strawberries.


Oo-er!

I've met my match.


I've just acquired (SFP)¹ two plastic waterbutts - being thrown out from
two separate addresses! One of them was 'no good' because it had a hole
for a tap at the bottom!

Sometimes one has to admit that one can't control the Earth. Even my little
bit of it.


I have that promble TAAAW.
