Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Afternoon.

4 and a bit hilly off road miles this morning, 2.5 hours of vigorous gardening this afternoon.
I have to say, nothing makes me feel my age than the latter activity. I used to spend all day working in the garden and think nothing of it; three hours is my limit these days.

Early Feb here on the buddleia pruning, but any time before the start of April should be fine.

BDP.

I'm in talks with management about a potential promotion at work, taking over my own area of municipal flower beds to maintain.

There are a few things to be thought about before a we make a decision, but two big positives are that a) they would be very happy for me to be in charge of that route, while simultaneously b) they don't want to split me up from my current buddy because we're the best team in the region.

Promotion would mean more money and more autonomy, but slightly more monotonous work for a large chunk of the year, and possibly being stuck with someone who complained about the last woman he worked with because she occasionally needed the toilet as my sidekick.

This morning I need to talk to my current buddy about it, before the big boss comes to talk to both of us.

Perhaps they could move your buddy with you? Hope it works out well for you Rae!
Yes, the buddleias had a stay of execution this year due to weather and laziness but Monty Don included them in Jobs for the Weekend last week so I'm not the only one getting them done just in time :-)
