39 days to go



39 days to go.................yeeeeeeeee...haaaaaaaaa

I have booked the crane and truck for the end of the season.
The tipper truck arrives soon with the fertiliser.
The sniper is cleaning his weapons. (remember the sniper)
And I have the seeds.
Pretty soon you should hear some Thunder from Down Under.
That will be my seed breaking open.
