    It's a good job you translated first. A guess, using my non-existant Spanish/English translation skills, would have made me think you were saying baboon-like.

    In French, it would be bavard, which comes from baver, which means to slaver or drool.
    So, we come up with a drooling baboon.

    You need to find somewhere where people will be delighted to help yr attempts at speaking the language.... hence my arabic is /was good, my French is rubbish.
    Amount of land surely depends on what the land is like. And what you want your money to stretch too.

    By the way, it's still raining.

    Does anybody know a good rain-stopping dance?

    I've just spent over a week in a place where it never properly rains (until the El Nino kicks in) although you can get a bit damp in the mists that roll in off the sea in their 'winter'. So I was quite glad to come back to a green and pleasant land, until I saw the height of the weeds in the vegetable plot.

    Weeds are about the only thing growing in our vegetable plot. We also had a week away, came back to find everything we had carefully planted had been munched to ground level by slugs.

    My allotment is also in dire shape.
    Nothing seems to be growing well this year although I did pick a few kilos of gooseberry last week.
    The parsnips and onions look to be more or less ok.
    Autumn raspberry ok.
    Spuds have a touch of blight.
    the bordeaux mix get washed off as fast as it is sprayed on.

    We've got a fine crop of grass and not much else growing on the allotment too. Still it was a good excuse to buy a strimmer.
