Today, I said "After a winter like this one, it's sensible not to buy
a plant from a garden centre until it has started sprooting, so you

Ah, well. You know what I mean ....

You are not the only one. My German friend tells me today that she is
suffering from "an English underdose."
I must phone her soon.
