One of the positives of modern technology is that we can have a word with someone without having to physically go and see them. In the time of Samuel Pepys in the 17th century, there were no such things as telephones and people used to meet in coffee houses to exchange gossip. Now, we have more information  and channels of communication than we can possibly handle and it behoves us to be...

Being a sole trader, I can charge as much or as little as I feel like with a  gardening job. Today I was asked to quote for a job which was very rightly in the "jungles cleared" descriptor in my advertising. This, believe it or not, is a garden.

So this is what the wonderful authorities are doing. I went out very early this morning, about 6:30 AM, and saw a plane spraying chemicals. You can tell chem trails apart from vapour trails because the chem trail stay in the sky for a long time.
