...it looked like this.
The poor wee thing's had a checkered career.
It started life as a twig which dropped off a Fuchsia LA brought into the shop. #1 ''took bad ways'' and this is a cutting from that. Last year is was en route for being a standard, during a recent series of draughts I found it on its side and topless.
We tend not to stir far on a Sunday and since there's a bloke coming upon the morrow to measure the room you can maybe guess what Gaffer was up to this a.m.

What with that and cooking ye chicken I had my usual canter around looking at ''things'', this is the ''thing'' I settled on.
