Had a good day darling?


Paul carefully and painstakingly placed his last remaining tomato and cucumber seeds into pots this morning and placed them on the steps to soak up the sunshine.  Rick was in the garden chasing birds and lizards and went careering up the steps, straight through the pots and knocked them flying. Soil and seeds scattered everywhere. The air went blue as Paul called Rick every name under the sun, just as two smartly dressed old ladies appeared at the gate.  Jehovah's Witnesses. They didn’t stay long.

Rakes left lying in the grass are a hazard.  Paul found out the hard way when he stepped on the flat edge of the spikes causing the wooden handle to fly up and smack him on his forehead.

His day can only get better.

  2. I thought that the rake trick was an old joke. Obviously not! Egg head?

  3. Hahaha! I love this post. Poor Paul, but you can tell him that at least one person had a hearty laugh thanks to his tribulations, so it was not in vain!

  4. Did Paul just sweep up the soil and seeds and sprinkle the lot on the garden to let them come up as they liked. Hope he is not too badly hurt by the rake.

    1. He scooped them up and put them back in the pots but they are all mixed up now.

  5. I think the worst bit of the day was having those wretched JW's coming by. I hope they don't turn up here. I've told Bok to look out for them!
