It's already November, and knowing that the man in the red suit gets very busy near to his big day, I'm getting in early with my Christmas wish list.
Lady Magnon asked me yesterday what I wanted for Crimbo. 'A new wheelbarrow' I replied. 'Too expensive' she said dismissively. 'What was the point in asking then' I said, closing the door sharply behind me.
So, no wheelbarrow. However, what I really do want is a huge load of self-digging and non-weed-supporting soil for Haddock's, a new lower back and right knee, and a Summer one-man-show at the Tate in London.
Come on Santa.... not too much to ask, surely. Oh, and you can throw in the Wheelbarrow as well, just to annoy Lady M. 
How's about a one man travelling art exhibition - from a wheelbarrow!
ReplyDeleteOnly IF I get the wheelbarrow!
ReplyDeleteAre there any concessions to your forthcoming exhibition, Cro? (I got into a museum for a quid less the other day, because I had hit 60 - whoopee!)
ReplyDeletePerhaps with your dodgy lower back and knee it should be a self-propelling wheelbarrow?
ReplyDeleteI fear as much.
ReplyDeleteNot too much to ask!!
ReplyDeleteI asked for a wheelbarrow a few years ago, one that is made for those of us with back isues. It is so cool, so easily propelled through the yard. I 'paid" my husband handsomely for it. Isn't there more room for negotiation with the Mrs? Hmmmmmmm?
ReplyDeleteCro you know you will get the wheelbarrow! men always get what they want(well almost) and you know if you believe in Santa you get your wishes..
ReplyDeleteSelf digging and self weeding - let me know how that one works out for you - but if it was also self moving, would you really need the wheelbarrow?
ReplyDeleteA man with a garden needs a wheelbarrow. I think it is your manly right to have one. I am sure Lady M will get you one especially if you whine about it a lot. That always works for my husband.
