Allotments 4 All

Well she isn't far wrong. I went oputside for an hour earlier, she came out with a cuppa, as she turned round the woman noticed a red plant pot or two on the roof of the outhouse !!, Uh oh, so Ihad to explain to her that as it was part of the house it was sheltered from one side, that I had run out of space to put such things as strawberries and that I figured if the slugs wanted to nick my veg and fruit they would be way to kna**ered to eat it by the time they climbed the wall.

I won, but she didn't half give me a look that seemed to say " I'm worried about you now".

Makes it easier for the birds to get a peck at the strawberries, being on the roof.

Or did Mrs Superspud give you her hairnet to put over the plant?

I get those looks all the time but not only from family ;D but I am happy. I talk to the chickens, the guinea pigs & the garden birds. Oh & I talk to the plants when they are being moved upstairs because they have finished flowering. Just to reassure the plants you understand.

I have plenty of nets so no worries.

Well GrannyJanny as it happens the wife has told me on numberous occasions that the washing machine and the dishwasher "talk" to her as well, so you are not alone in talking to non humans  ;D.

I name my cars, swear at talk to my computer and to plants. There's nothing wrong with this. Cars get jealous, plants have to know how they are expected to behave and the computer has to know who's boss around here (it is, I'm outnumbered).

OH is just as bad..... ;D

Anyone who finds this looney is just envious of your close relationships with your many friends :D

I am curious to know if she ever reads your posts on here  :o :o XX Jeannine

I never post anything I don't mind him seeing.....he's next to me for starters  ::)

Very early on in our marriage, and after his first and only such transgression, I told my husband that if he ever referred to me as "the wife" he would find himslf divorced and minus various appendages.

28 years later we're still here.   He accepts that I talk to plants - mostly pep talks- computers - mostly shouting - and cars - depending.  But then he talks to the TV about football, golf and so on.

Hi jeannine, Yes my wife does read my posts, I get the odd poke in the ribs as she walks past and spots one, I Once went out for a hour and didn't come back for days, before I met my wife I used to ride a chopper with some very nice people ( society like to think their animals and the scourge of the biking world, the truth is far from that )when I lived in Pompey, I erm neglected to tell her I was meeting up with a couple of the old gang and so I ended up in Pompey for about 4 days absolutely blotto, I had a really good time and then I remembered I was married and guiltily called home, it was about erm 9 years ago now, time for another reunion methinks ;D ;D. I thought I was for the chop but she was cool about it. We never ever really argue and she's a good girl ( that term will really hack of the "feminists", watch them jump) she refers to me as a "half decent fella" so fair is fair i say.  Unlike her ex's I dont knock her about, she had a rough time in life till I came along in that respect and my guess is she appreciates the "normal" man. So like I say we rarely argue but she lets me know if I have stepped over her line so to speak ( I usually go hungry! ).

Husband's scouse and started referring to me as 'the bird'. Call him the same thing back. Don't arf confuse people!

I talk to stuff all the time. Did get a bit embarrassed the day the trainee from work spotted me muttering to meself in the veg aisle in the supermarket though  ::)

I have trouble getting a word in edgewise with our guinea pigs. Generally from what little I understand it runs 'food food food food'. In varying pitches and volumes depending on how long it's been since the last batch of veg.

We all have our little foibles - the world would be very dull if not!

Sounds like you suit one another.. by the way I used to race a moter bike,,small world eh!! XX Jeannine
