I'm not sure exactly why Tamsin thought that broccoli and potato soup might be nice. I guess she had her reasons. What an idiot.

It is with regret that Tamsin has made her decision to retire from her allotment. We hadn't been for a couple of months, and when we went down there today, the fence has been broken down in 2 places, the locked door forced open, the wheelbarrow and state of the art spade

stolen, and people had had a massive bonfire, burnt a bike and broken some glass and taken drugs on our patch. Since we don't feel safe there and Tamsin doesn't have the skill or inclination to build a secure fence to keep intruders out, we will be retiring from the allotment until such a time as we can find one that doesn't need an alarm system.

Angie should be in Peru right about now… Enjoy!!!

Meanwhile, Tamsin is going to have a LOT of explaining to do when she next visits the Buddhist Centre. Tonight, she has killed some slugs and snails. She has put it off for a long time, but she said something about kill just a couple (haha, call that a couple) now and save having to kill off hundreds later. They are eating the whole garden and we are going to have to grow veg there this year. So I say, be like a dog. Kill EVERYTHING IN SIGHT and don't bother with a guilty conscience. You have a lot to learn from us dogs.

OK I admit it. It was me that went through the compost bin. Yes, those are green pepper seeds next to my bed. I did eat the shrivelled, mouldy green pepper. I cannot tell a lie. I am also responsible for the half a banana skin in the kitchen. To make good of this situation, I am going to start my new feature "Things Eaten by Dogs".

Look at the amazing roots on this tree. There are roots like this everywhere. Tamsin is making a point of noticing things like this. It is so easy to walk past and not see them.

This is our favourite sign. You can guess what Tamsin does every time she sees it. She is such a conformist.

Ps if you can't guess what Tamsin does when she sees it, click on the little "x" at the top right of your screen.

Have the people with no sense of humour left now?

Today I am wondering about underpants. Specifically why it is that someone might put their underpants on inside out, and

then think to themselves, "No, I might be in a road traffic accident the one day my underpants are inside out, I'll change them" and then go right ahead and waste a vital 30 seconds putting them the right way round. Firstly, underpants are equally clean on both sides when you put them on, and secondly, if you *are* in an accident, you are likely to soil them and in any case they will be cut off you and no one but no one will notice if they are on inside out or not. So my advice humans, is spend your 30 seconds on something else.
