    Minor altercations but otherwise OK ish - dates are under review.

    Just had a thought - I am preparing word docs for each of my evening classes about growing veggies - if anyone wants any then I can't link a word doc here but I can send them in an email.

    Not of course that I am the font of all knowledge BUT free stuff is always good.

    Anytime olive - thus far I have sheets on herb growing, knowing your onions, soil/fertility/pH for veggie growing and something on crop rotation. They are printed I can easily pop one in the post (work pays for the printing and I can shove them in works post?)

    I have a whole series of articles somewhere (?) from when I wrote for a herb magazine if anyone suffers from insomnia

    Dr of veggies - if only!

    Waves hello - heads fried - blazing row with ex hub re kids at xmas last night managed to drink a whole bottle of wine in about 30 mins (not good!). P**D off as haven't drunk at home in ages...........onwards today lots to do.

    Gave my mrs mopp a payrise (she's been with us a year) theres more to do and she puts up with dog hair, sand and an untidy house - so I figure its nice to show her she's appreciated. As I am almost clear evil edna (therefore not incurring interest) I figured evil ednas interest (IYSMIM) could go towards Mrs Mopp's payrise - so its not really costing me any extra

    ? I do ramble rubbish.

    Oh dear to the bottle of wine - I used to do that a lot in my 20s..... the worst time was when I had a really bad seminar on balance sheet analysis and the tutor was really rubbish. It finished about 9pm, so I marched straight to the nearest pub and had two double martinis in 5 minutes. Surprisingly, I can still remember it, didn't fry my brain after all - hope you're feeling okay today tho.
