GARDENING (PART TWO)

I know, I know, that old soon to be retired schoolteacher from Nuova Lazio begged me not to create a 'gardening' series. Normally I'm open to the wants and needs of old people and try to help them when I can. When it comes to that old soon to be retired schoolteacher from Nuova Lazio though there's not a lot I can do to help him - other than to comply with his wish but another old and soon to be retired commercial cleaner from Petone heights begged me to create and continue with a 'gardening' series.

What to do?

I looked at the merits of both requests and had to decide  who needed a favour most. I trawled through the blog posts of both of these supplicants and drew up a good:bad list from each.




-->

	GOOD	BAD
SCHOOLTEACHER	Soon to retire
		Bangs on about double basses
		Bangs on about fiddles
		Writes in an unintelligible foreign language sometimes
	Drinks wine with his meals	Drinks wine without meals
		Drinks cheap and rubbishy wine
	Goes to bed early	Gets up too early
	Helps old people	Is a bit OCD when it comes to toilet practices.
		Probably practises his double bass in the toilet
COMMERCIAL CLEANER	A few years to retirement
		Bangs on a bit about religion.
		Bangs on a bit about Catholicism.
		Believes in the Holy Trinity
		Thinks that a god created the universe
	Argues with Jehovah Witnesses	Sells cup-cakes
	Is a good home handyman	Is a good home handyman (bastard!)
		Gets up early
		Brews and drinks beer
		Drinks even worse wine than the schoolteacher
		Sleeps with a spirit medium

I found that there wasn't much between them but re-read a couple of posts that the commercial cleaner wrote detailing (with disturbing audio recordings) his harrowing experience sleeping with a spirit medium. I decided that the poor guy needed some consideration so here is Gardening (Part Two).

GARDENING  (PART TWO)

Now that we've reached this point I've found that I don't have a lot to report. It's sort of like the ante-climactic announcements in the Monty Python films and series.

or like this:


ANTE-CLIMACTIC CLASH

Hang on ......... here's something to keep you going.

A couple of months ago I bought a lot of different herbs and planted them in pots to put on the deck close to the kitchen. I've been using these in my cooking but some of them are looking a bit sad.

I hope that you enjoyed this. Richard (of RBB), you'd better go and have a lie-down.
