todayiamadaisySo this is a thing. It's more of a turkey than a whale, I think. Or a turtle. A turkey turtle.
It wasn't just my mother lunching at my house the other day; her partner, John, was with her. 'And you know how he gets under my feet when I'm making lunch,' she said. This is true. He likes to watch lunch being made, and somehow picks the most inconvenient standpoint. If she wants milk, he'll be standing in front of the fridge. If she wants a plate, he'll have moved to the crockery cupboard. It's not deliberate, you understand. Just a special knack he's got. Anyway, to get him completely out of the way, she suggested that he go and water the staghorn at the bottom of the garden. He did that by taking the rose of the watering can to get a single jet of water, and then he left the watering can at the base of the tree the staghorn is attached to. As you do. So my watering can has been found and re-assembled. It wasn't much of a mystery in the end, after all.
