Saturday Work Party

38 days remain to log your Volunteer Hours before the October 13 deadline

I’ll be right back … I just have to go copy whatever I wrote for last Saturday’s Work Party and paste it below …

[… a minute later]

Well … that’s not going to work (!) because last Saturday’s blurb was for a long weekend and this one ain’t. Shoot … will have to try and make it up from the top. Ok, here goes.

First of all, I know for certain that there are mounds of earth to relocate and mounds of earth to sift and pathways aplenty to excavate to add to the aforementioned mounds of earth … and as it happens I can’t think of any way of putting that that makes it any more appealing than it is, which is, admittedly, not very.

Second of all, as you will recall by now that whenever I mention that the CDC has visited us on a Friday I go on to say something like … as a consequence of their visit there is often a deficit of jobs left to do in the garden for some time thanks to the CDC’s unstinting efforts (the “Locusts of Volunteers”, I have heard them admiringly referred to in reference to their voracious appetites for work) … today will, in all likelihood, be similar if not the same to historical examples of their prior visits, viz. they did more than we expected and so its back to the mounds of earth for the rest of us.

Providentially … there may be harvesting that wants doing … that sounds better than everything so far by a long chalk.

If any of the foregoing changes in an appreciable manner beforehand … and I remember to … I shall repost this page.

Picture time …
