        As a chicken, I suppose we have to expect you to gobl'et while you can.
        While you are pouring over your reply, I suppose I must bottle out of this conversation and go do some cooking.

          Sorry VC grammer never was my strong point. To clarify, there is no problem under a draining board.

            It wasn't your grammar, Potty, it was my eyes Thanks for your confirmation - now I can give my plan to the builder tomorrow with confidence It'll be good when the boiler is working again, I don't need it for heating yet but it would be nice to know it was available - as for the washing machine - I'm travelling back and forth to Cardiff with bags of grotty washing. Two more weeks - perhaps......

                9 hours to go before the builders burst in! Must remember to take the key out of the front door this time so they don't surprise me!
                As for Sno's parsnip store, be careful with the PMSL or you may have damp drawers too

                  I just had a vision of the builders bursting in and surprising VC with damp drawers...they would notice these things you know ! And you couldn't just do a runner, they wouldn't let that slide...

                  This year Feral, I am branching out. Hamburg parsley, salsify and scorzonera - next year, maybe even skirret if I can get the stuff to germinate. I'm going to need fresh drawers.

                    Sno, it would be their drawers that were damp I woke this morning trying to remember whether the key was still in the outside lock or not, then decided what the heck - it was!!
                    If you're going to grow salsify you may need longer drawers.......

                    • That's a shame VC, I was planning on wearing them...stiff frost on the grass yesterday, we're in for a hard winter I reckon !

                      • You can still wear them Sno, even with a couple of scorzonera tucked inside. You may walk a trifle peculiarly, and sitting down on the bus may raise a few eyebrows but they can't arrest you for it!

                        • Between looking at the gallery photos of Bronzes in the Observer online (my, that king was kingly !) and reading this, I have just had a sudden image of my gout-ridden toes done in scorzonera sculpture...oh, the fun to be had (or police call outs) with a bit of dodgy shaped root !
                          And on that happy note, I am off to bed, leaving my porridge to cool while I dream of shoehorning a boiler under a sink as people carry huge bags of laundry up an Escher-like cliff staircase...

                          • ...and I shall probably dream of a giant scorzonera and a pair of damp drawers

                            • Pouring with rain again but the 3 gallant lads have been here since 8, preparing to do the roof. They're downstairs, with their mega saw, and they run the electricity from the bedroom - good job I was up early I'll head for the big city soon and leave them to play until next weekend. All this talk of noggins is too much for me!

                              • Nothing like the scream of a bandsaw to banish sleep ! Except perhaps the warbling of a smoke alarm...
                                Looks like some of your weather has escaped down the phone line, Veggie. It is tipping it down here - hours earlier than forecast, so there goes my grass cutting and laundry drying. (I left it out overnight. I wonder if this will be a repeat of my took-a-fortnight-on-the-whirly experience of earlier this summer ? )
                                Damned glad I'm not out on a roof though. I suppose a wee one is not so neck-breakish.
