I talk to my car, I talk to my fluffy shark, I talk to my washing machine if it's too noisy. I always say hello to cows with a cordial 'good morning, cow' or some such.<BR/><BR/>I like the gardening thing. Maybe one of your fellow Bloggers is an Operations Manager for 7 Garden Centres across the UK? Give me a shout if you ever visit Cadbury Garden Centre and I can sort you out a fine shopping experience. We don't have a mud pool there so maybe TG wouldn't love it so much.<BR/><BR/>Have a good day.BS5 Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00736680428036053669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-57627720974207402862008-04-17T06:20:00.000+01:002008-04-17T06:20:00.000+01:00I've talked to ladybugs, so yeah.Just the word gru...I've talked to ladybugs, so yeah.<BR/><BR/>Just the word grub makes me want to shower.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog!Tootsie Farklepantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336671002327112885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-87247057741856899582008-04-17T04:36:00.000+01:002008-04-17T04:36:00.000+01:00Gardening is fun, isn't it?

It's when it is mid-August and everything is drooping or turning brown from the heat, except for the weeds, of course, that it isn't so much fun.<BR/><BR/>If you think you are a little bit strange, then I must be, too. I am a wormaphobic, but yesterday while cleaning leaves off the patio I found several big nightcrawlers. Instead of screaming and backing off in disgust as I usually do, I gingerly scooped them up into a bucket and deposited them into my garden. I told them to please burrow into my garden and fertilize it.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-41826727346828956522008-04-17T02:56:00.000+01:002008-04-17T02:56:00.000+01:00Thanks for stopping by my blog.

It is definitely not my favorite job, but I didn't seem to mind for the past 2 days. Must be the warm spring sunshine.
