I cannot understand inflation or why the economists think it is a good thing. ANZAC day in Australia today over there. That was in WW1 when Churchill used the Aussies and new zealanders as a decoy to keep Turkey busy and they all died on the beaches and trying to climb into the hills. The Turks lost a lot of chaps too.

I'm really running behind on my reading. I didn't do very good at it yesterday. The barometric pressure here was really working hard on old bones and sinus pressure in anticipation of this mornings thunderstorms. You got me remembering my cute little Dad and Mom. Mother had a dress that, for some reason Dad did not like at all. One Sunday morning she came out ready for church in that dress. Dad frowned and said, "I see the sackcloth, but where are the ashes." She never wore that dress again as far as I know.

Re: Re: Your magic always seems to have a sudden twist of the practical
My sugar peas are showing a little enthusiasm--far more than last year's beans! I have hopes.
I'm not sure being cloned is all it's hyped to be. I am not sure my self would be part of the process, it would just be another body. Maybe better kept than this one...

Re: Your magic always seems to have a sudden twist of the practical
I have some peas in a tunnel growing in pots Ciel I think they will be quite early as long as they are not tough. I think I am becoming a bit forgetful , I can't remember what I last wrote. I can remember your Birthday is in October, so perhaps I live in the future . Fancy being cloned?

Your magic always seems to have a sudden twist of the practical
and the cranky.
I love to see practical gardens as well as flowers. And in coming times, knowing how to grow food is likely to be useful.

Re:
Wait until you get our fuel prices Kabu a gallon approx. Oh I can't remember I know it cost £35 to top up my tank . Paraffin is £5 a gallon. I delivered a gallon to an old girl once
it was 1 shilling and 4 pence halfpenny. She gave me a right rollicking because it had gone up a halfpenny.

Re: Chiff Chaff
Yes it is a bit different if the locals do not want the jobs Bro ,but it stirs up a lot of resentment if folk are squeezed out,

Re: jeansaw
Yes I have seen folk do the same Jean, but I think flowers are more appropriate.
Sadly some people just want conformity and most are putting cement down now
basically to park the cars.

Re:
Well you see fellow, I try to adapt to your style as most are of you are American and I automatically tend to lean towards a mutual understanding. Anyway I have a baseball bat, goodness knows where it came from. I remember I could swing it round in my hand, I carried it at night when I checked the chicken sheds.

Re:
Yes Jimmy there were some chives that had been broken off and I bet the sticks of rhubarb will go. It is a job to wash what may have been absorbed into the plant. I know we use unleaded petrol but diesel, is around,

Well at least those folks planted something Bro. which is more then I've done. Macdonalds seem to be having trouble everywhere. In Canada they had to give up one location to another company, because the 'agent' was employing immigrants and firing Canadians that had the jobs............

...people will be planting their gardens down to vegetables more and more if prices keep rising. Gas, (petrol) here has gone up so high we will have to walk the miles to Town soon.

i agree, not a good place for a vegetable garden with high traffic. interesting though in my home town , salina, kansas, on a residential street some people planted a beautiful vegetable garden in the front yard, (there were pictures on the net) i do not know if they had the same in the back yard, but the neighbors complained and the city voted that they would have to match the neighbors and replant with grass. i guess that would be ok if cows lived there.

I suppose planting those vegetables along the roadway there was a good idea/bad idea. Good idea because some vegetables have beautiful flowers and leaves to accompany them, and would be asthetically pleasing. But a bad idea because, as you've said, anyone who artbitrarily plucks one and eats it is taking a fairly big risk! And they should probably forgo the rabbits altogether . . .

Being that you are British, I would have figured you would have written cricket bat...One of the reasons I switched grocery stores a few months back was due to attitude...I like the way in which the poem flows.

I sometimes think Monty Python could have used your ideas for his comedy sketches, I don't think he ever had a man walking up the street with his head through a grate...
