its may ..............im tooo busy

nth , today a busy day , so much so i forgot what i was supposed to do , its only now ive remebered a multitude of tasks and its now after 11pm , im trying to relax with one glass of wine , im trying to think, its strange for such an apparently quiet day ive been so busy , actually achieving not very much , worrying about an early finish tomorrow incase something suffers due to concequence , but i guess it wont , after all theres email on my blackberry , or not as the case is at the moment . I checked email tonight on pc to find a whole load of stuff including a littel order that ought to have been spotted earlier . Anyway the weather is good , albeit cold at night , sales picking up slowly , labels required , sundries required barcodes requires oil required in lorry,employment details requiredfor some polish worker thats left after 2 weeks , god it takes me a month to say there names , but onre thing ive noticed , i forget things , i let things run so to speak , so do all the other compaies i deal with, so we may be small and i may make mistakes and forget things , but even the big companies do the same , even worse in my opinion. i have a tomato problem thats worrying me i have a surfinia problem thats worrying me , maybe i should google them or ask jeeves , do i brush issues under the carpet , no , we tackle them head on , or at least do our best , do i reckon we are better than most other busnessies in our field , maybe not academicaly but hey you can speak the boss whenever , not pawned off to some other (cant wait for the weekend sort of ..........) I got someone on the phone today , didnt work weekends ok fair enough but dont tell me in may and dont expect me to be nice after endless hours of work , i dont give a toss, ,, spoke to some students today , i enjoyed there company , albeit not many questions but hey ho it didnt matter , the truth be known i was probably more interested in them and there lives than they were in normal horticulture, nonetheless i hope the got some good from the trip even if it was just to sign to twitter. peter pooped in today an old college collegue unfortunatly i was busy and didnyt have the time to spent with him and margaret , its funny this time of year i feel like a doctor , people wait to see me , in my defence i have to wait to eat , today eating didnt happen ... i was to busy , one thing to poiunt out my punctuation aint perfect if it ever is then i aint wrote this ..........time for another glass of wine then sleep , my head is spinning , itll soon be june , wondering if this vocation is the best choice ...........smiling .....of course it is

Week 11

Well all of a sudden the time runs out , work piles up and stress levels increase, but alas the birds are singing the sun was shining today and i m a tweeting rather than blogging.
Its that time of year when frost causes me worry , midnight checks on heaters, to find at least one has stopped working , tired mornings result in many jobs being started and few finished , none the less at least there started.
On a personal note , i hurt my leg at the weekend , ruptured calve , so my running training is somewhat curtailed this week , hopefully will resume next week without incident , that reminds me in supposed to ice it helps stop scar tissue , anyway nice sports theraphist help put things right and got to the bottom of an underlying issue ,, im a funny shape , not quiet , i run funny , well there you go people saying ive been walking funny for years now i can add i run funny too .
Any im hoping all is well for the mighty deerstalker run in 2 weeks .

hanging baskets

I noticed a strange thing the other day , you know when someone gets killed beside a road there is usually some momentos of the deceased life , ie football colours , flowers etc. Well i was surprised to see 2 hanging baskets hanging on the hedge that the previously unlucky person hit. What a nice way to increase sales . im wondering if the said idea could be adapeted to cemeteries.. I notice that most cemetries have at least a few of these solar powered lights appearing. My idea to add a few posts and brackets and owe what a lovely show could be created for dear departed "granny". Also this would encourage weekly visits and also maybe a national blooming cemetary competion,,, or maybe not . Just one of my ideas .
