Got home last night to a scene of a couple of police cars, lights a-flashing, at the top of the cul-de-sac. There was also a young woman with a frightened looking baby (about 18 months I'd say) on her hip. My wife told me that on the way out to pick me up she'd heard them screaming at each other;
her to him - GET THE f**k OUT!! GET THE f**k OUT NOW YOU BASTARD!!
him to her - [unintelligible screaming etc from deeper in the house]
Evidently she fled the love nest and called the police from outside. Surreptitiously, I inspected my newly planted magnolia bushes that are copping a frightful hiding from the late spring sunshine along my front fence, in order to try and eavesdrop.
This being the relationships thread, my question is this. Do you think I simply need to keep the water up to the magnolias or is it just that they're copping too much sun? The Port-Wines are doing better than the Cocos, so maybe I should just rip the Cocos out and replace them with more Port-Wines?
