... or so I was saying to myself last week, looking dolefully out of the rain-spattered window, having just cancelled all my jobs for the day...
To start the day, I received a series of texts from one of my former students, now a fully-fledged self-employed Gardener: asking if I were working today, ie because of the rain. I should say that this former student's territory is only about 15 miles away, so we generally share the same weather.
This is how the conversation went:
Them: “Are you working today?”
Me: “No... it's pouring down, here. How about you?”
Them: “Likewise, but it has just stopped and I'm feeling guilty about cancelling. The Met Office shows heavy rain all day, though...”
Me: “Well, it's your choice. I hate the guilt, but I also hate working on sodden gardens.”
At this point in the dialogue, I will just interject to point out that I said “sodden” as in “extremely wet”, not “sodding.” Just wanted to make that clear. On with the plot....
