Shattered Illusions

[Samurailord]

I was under the illusion that I would be able to plant on 100% of my plot this year - instead I have a passable recreation of the conditions on the Somme over part of it

Still - it stops me from getting bored, and you wouldn't believe the number of schemes that people have used on allotments to get rid of excess water over the years - Google is my best friend here

I now have a (new) cunning plan to get rid of the waterlogging (plan #5 if anyone is counting) - if it works I will be a very tired, but happy bunny.

If it doesn't work, anyone know where to get rice and watercress seeds from?

I decided I was definitely going to finish work early today then looked at the clock. Time to go home. Doh.

I cleaned the bathroom only because its raining outside.

flushed with success?

flushed with success?

If it's anything like mine, totally drained, and getting a sinking feeling already...

There's watercress in the VSP but we seem to have had a run on rice this year - sorry

Today, I discovered that spreadsheets cannot be trusted, LottieDolly cannot do Morse Code, and there is no Santa emoticon on order for the Vine.
What stories of shattered illusions do you Grapes have ?
(Tears or laughter equally welcome, I'm very bored here. )

Due to budget constraints, the Vine opted for the bargain Santa emoticon this year:
