Any time and date is convenient as long as I have enough notice to slip him a couple of strong sedatives beforehand. 

[Growster...]

You're on!

Have you looked out of your front window recently?

;0)

[Goosegirl]

I looked out last night and again this morning - nothing. I presume as you didn't ring beforehand that you'd eat it all. Pah!

[Growster...]

All?

Did you know that there was enough for the five thousand in that bucket!

It's meatballs tomoz as a penance, but the runner beans need a mate, so all bets are off now..:0~

[Goosegirl]

Can't help you with the beans as we've not even had enough for a boiling yet. 

[Growster...]

That's a shame, Goosey...

One or two around here are struggling to keep their crop going too! We're trying a second sowing which are half-way up the canes, but the main lot have just been about somewhat OK!

[Goosegirl]

Don't hold your breath with the second crop as I sowed some more late May and planted them out later. Currently they're languishing one third up the clematis netting support and basically doing nowt despite being fed and watered. Bah!
