The perfect gardening relationship.
29 Jul '07 4:26 pm Mary I am envious. You have someone to help you in the garden who doesn't demand too much input. Of course you deserve it. In your last journal I had to admire your approach to motivating your non-gardening partner.
"But first I will gently organise my lovely NGP (non-gardening partner). Then, as soon as I hear the chain-saw starting up I will jump up and run to his side, smiling. As soon as the shredder is wheeled out, likewise. I will bring him squishy morning teas, and chocolate, and hug him lots. When we go to get the wood shavings I will admire his ability to back the trailer."
Where did you learn to be such a smoothy? With manners like that, you deserve it.
