Sadly you're right.<br /><br />Nutty Gnome - he's a lot better thanks. We have a similar agreement here, not only re the allotment, but the garden as well. I see that Himself's been a lot more handy with your garden changes!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-29670811317386576412009-04-27T14:33:00.000+01:002009-04-27T14:33:00.000+01:00Poor old NAH - hope he's feeling a bit better now....Poor old NAH - hope he's feeling a bit better now. Mind you, now he's got a new toy there'll be no stopping him!<br /><br />Himself does our mowing - it's one of the very few things that is designated as 'man's work' in our house, and he does it mostly without moaning!

We had to cancel our planned windsurfing holiday to Greece as the Doctor said he couldn't guarantee all would be well there. We went to North Wales instead, where he collapsed at Tywyn station one day in front of a coachload of pensioners from Newcastle, much to their entertainment. Ironically, NAH now volunteers there from time to time.<br /><br />Joanne - NAH's an engineer, so toys are most important ;) Thanks for your good wishes<br /><br />Elizabethm - that's my view exactlyVPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-85933604685712203152009-04-25T22:53:00.000+01:002009-04-25T22:53:00.000+01:00I hate mowing and would do whatever it takes to ge...I hate mowing and would do whatever it takes to get someone else to do it.
