A useful fairy to have, I’m sure you’ll agree

22 February 2009

My vegetable patch now looks a little less neglected and a little more like someone went down there yesterday and dug it all over a few times, leaving the turnips in peace to look stupid, tipped a load of damp autumnal leaves out across the soil, dug them in a bit, then collapsed indoors, leaving their boots in the sink to be magically cleaned by the Magic Boot-Cleaning Fairy.

Meanwhile I look pretty much the same as yesterday, unless I try to bend, then I look and sound like an old women whose legs are grey, ears are gnarled and whose eyes are old and bent. But whose boots are clean.

That is a LOT of space to work on all in one day. I like your fairy, send her my way.

We don’t have a magic boot-cleaning fairy, but Troy thinks we have a laundry fairy. (Shh, don’t tell him it’s me!)
