I hope you enjoy this story. More to come if you want.

Yes please!!!


It was a shame that his own children were afraid of him, my grandmother
allowed it.
His compost heap was awesome and one day he said to me "would you like to
see 10 rats?" I was about 5 or 6 so I said yes. So I saw a litter of
very small rats, pinkies, that he had drowned that were in the compost
heap. I was a bit startled. I said "are they dead ?" He said yes, and
that's sometimes what we have to do"

I cried a bit then. I was a tender-hearted child.


At age 5/6 .....A bit young to be shown such things.

My grandmother didn't notice. Fortunately. If she had I suspect his dinner
would have been on the fire when he came back to the house.

[OT] Four walls of courgettes [ Was:Any use for overgrowncourgettes?]
 
Just a variation of the „overgrown courgettes“ theme.

Being on the road a little too much these days, I had more opportunity
to listen to some of my favorite CDs again... I do not know if this is
even english, but as the Krauts come to Normandy to die anyway, I will
take the risk. This is the main theme of my garden experience this year:

Four walls of courgettes are closing in on me
I'm attacked by « Blanche de Virginie » and “White Volontee”
If I eat'em all they'll kill me
Oh Jesus save my soul (... skip that one)
I can't go back to my garden,
Not before them snowflakes fall...

Go here for a better version:
