Keeping busy
Having completed my fungicide crusade – spraying the yard – at long last the new wheelbarrow arrived. You’ve no idea how much this technological innovation will improve my productivity. The shed has become a warehouse of discarded possessions, beaten up furniture and redundant white goods. Phase 2 of the drains programme has been put into motion; men are servicing water pumps, scaling chimneys, installing stoves...and we haven’t scratched the surface. Berlusconi doesn’t know the half of it. Have now despatched a total of 12 boxes of books to local charity shops, though what the hippies that staff them will make of my old reading material is anybody’s guess. Given the current economic scene you’d imagine there would be a ready market for a well-thumbed edition of Robert Beckman’s Downwave. As reward for my effort Mrs G. has killed a haggis for supper.

You seem to have enough to do to keep yourself out of trouble, though I am concerned whether the poor haggis was able to meet it's maker in a bed of potatoes and nips.
BTW, let me know what you think of the "Quantum Thief". I was looking at that last week on Amazon thinking I'd pick it up sooner than later.

O yes. Always neeps and tatties.
