    I just caught myself discussing the current financial crisis with my new apple tree!!!:lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol:



    The neighbour caught me doing it :lollol::lollol::lollol:,


    Me-"So what do you think will happen?"

    Apple Tree-"......................."

    Me-" Nothing to say eh?"


    -neighbour chuckles


    I creep behind my tree feeling like a bedknob!



    Earlier this morning, checking on the roses which I sprayed with Bordeaux Mixx the other day, and as you will all know it leaves the characteristic sulphur residue,


    Me-" You don`t look like you have anything left for me this year"

    Rose-"................"

    Me-"What`sup, not talking to me? Feeling a little blue?"


    the madness made itself apparent when I actually chuckled to myself, and imagine the rose was too!



    Question ;- were we both laughing at the same thing?



    Totally Barking:lollol::lollol::lollol::lollol:

    I must admit that I do it too and as I garden with my iPod on and loud I must shout, especially when I'm weeding. I don't realise I'm doing it till it goes to the next song and I hear my own vioce and think someones behind me, :lollol:
