knocking up muck...
I am exhausted and every muscle in my body aches. I spent the day yesterday helping Mr Rock Cake lay concrete and doing other manly things to our garden. I now know how to knock up some muck. It took a little while for me to get the hang of this. I kept saying make up some muck which just showed my inexperience. By the end of the day, however, I was knocking up muck like I was born to it. The irony of it all is that I spent the whole day establishing my manly credentials only to end up weak as a kitten. At the end of the day, Ms Ginger Cake nipped home to make us all dinner. She made us her fantastic pesto lasagna with a potato and tomato salad and garlic and rosemary bread. It was just what the doctor ordered. Then we all got a little bit drunk and ended up playing Articulate. All in all it was a good day. Productive and fun. I just never want to have another one like it.

At the risk of lowering the tone, surely your knocking up skills were never in question, Mr McM?

What a strange turn of phrase Mr Rock Cake has.

Actually the phrase is 'knocking up muck' and is a legacy of my three days as a general labourer to Mr Profiterole (when he worked as a bricklayer). It was the most demanding holiday job I've ever had and I have never been so exhausted in my life. I became quite skilled at chipping off bricks, although Mr Profiterole was amazed by my habit of wearing googles to protect my eyes-real building types don't seem to bother and nothing ever happens to them, but I just knew I'd lose an eye!

I have muck that needs knocking up...whenever you're free, let me know and I'll order some beer and we'll get to it. I'm off to find out what sort of game Articulate is and to see if we have it here in Olympia!
