Damn that thing, it is impossible to do it all in one session without getting covered in paint and I should have realised that, at fifty, some of the contortions required are no longer available.<br /><br />So now, most of me hurts.<br /><br />I put it down to being virtually housebound for three months of snow and cold, which has atrophied my already unimpressive musculature. My body is raging at me with 'You want to do WHAT? Well okay but it's going to hurt.'<br /><br />Funnily enough, I'm feeling fitter (apart from the pain) and stronger and coughing less and waking up more easily now that I'm getting more fresh air and exercise.<br /><br />There might be a lot more in this 'hermetically sealed houses' problem than I thought. No draughts equals stale air. That might be causing a lot more respiratory problems than smoking ever could.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-4857865168067215662010-04-18T15:28:17.995+01:002010-04-18T15:28:17.995+01:00You must have been inspired by the legendary Gerra...You must have been inspired by the legendary Gerrard Hoffnung:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZUJLO6lMhImicrodavenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-7505680625069073992010-04-18T14:00:59.199+01:002010-04-18T14:00:59.199+01:00Did the rhubarb move for you too dear?

There's no benefit moving a big chunk and getting your delicates mangled when several small chunks can be split off the crown and planted close together in the new hole. Sorry to piss in your soup but rhubarb is like that, it thrives on being in dung however much of it you put into dung. Even one small bit of new growth will thrive and produce a good crop if the soil's right. <br /><br />I think I might be a day late with this handy bit of horticultural advice.TheFatBigothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17255526385076528633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-13219970787988795832010-04-18T01:27:31.956+01:002010-04-18T01:27:31.956+01:00Sorry - laughing so much I can't spell :)
