I went to the garden centre today

Pack of root grow

Pack of root trainers

Some q4 feed

4 bags of manure

4 60 litre bags of jack magic

And some bamboo canes

I had to ask someone if they sell coco, after questioning my intentions for it ( errr to grow a plant) and what I'm going to be doing with that lot ( I think she had an idea lol) she said they didn't have any left

It was the same at the till "what are you going to be growing with all this they ask with loads of people around me I just said what do you think this time 🙃 Good luck they say as I'm leaving ...

That's one strange garden centre asking you questions about what they sell I mean you didn't buy a lot I've seen pentioners buy more strange I wouldn't go there again.

I just bought the following from Wilkos:

Garden lime

Bone meal

A trowel

Some ferric phosphate organic slug pellets.

A roll of green wire mesh

A pare of topiary shears

A pot of vasaline

WD40

Some really fucking nasty smelling cheap-ass deoderant

I guess it'd take a very specialist knowledge to know what my intentions were for this lot.

But not a second glance

@@RandyBoBandy... Nice manoeuvre sir... Guessing your daughter wasn't with you.... "What you on about dad?"

I just say it's for the allotment when ever anyone asks...well it is. It's all about confidence and being at ease, you can say anything with a relaxed smile and people tend not to think out of it

... Or just think I'm a bit eccentric.

Penny Rimbaud from Crass said that shop staff sum you up from your appearance and security tend to stereotype people, which is pretty obvious stuff. If you look scruffy (like me) then speaking with a slightly posh accent may lead to the assumption that you are a middle class eccentric and unlikely to steal something.

lol nah she wasnt with me... i should have thought about it, like i was.. then for some reason when i told myself she wont ask.. my mind wonderd streight off on to another subject.. i think im losing it a bit as i get older, because my mind drifts from one thing to another so fast.. and i can never go back to the thing i was thinking previous.. cos its gone in a puff of smoke and forgot.. maybe a break from the weed lol
