Is talking aloud madness?

    How on earth do you get to agree with yourself over something you want to do /do not want to do/buy/invest in/ ignore - unless you talk to yourself? 


    Talking to plants, garden machinery, trees, birds in the garden etc. are all signs of a good healthy connection with the wider world - enjoy it.

    And another thing.....if you don't talk aloud.....nobody can hear you! We hadn't thought of that!

    I was digging up a deep rooted shrub this morning and I was using a few choice words as it didn't want to budge!!!! I then said to it. ...tough you're going whether u like it or not. ...then realised the neighbours were in their garden and probably thought I'd lost the plot. ....image

     My neighbour at my old house sang in his garden. It sounded like somebody coming out of a coma!image

    I've never heard a coma recoveree. Is it something like, 'errrr ehhhh errrr, *is that a lamp post*? my bike won't do as I say*imageimage

    That's it exactly. You must be the bloke on the other side!!

    what did he sing? Classical?image

    Who knows? It was no classical I've ever heard. I'm sure the rest of the band sounded great in his head but the odd bit he tooted was far from a tune. I was always shouting at him to belt up through the hedge but he just laughed and carried on.

    We had a really high hedge between us and we used to stand and talk for ages. Now that really looks ridiculous....talking to a hedge...and it answering back!

    PP I used to have a neighbour the other side of a very high hedge and we would "chat".  It could be dangerous at times when he lobbed a the odd cabbage or three in my direction!  (done without malice, and at least with forewarning, 'cos he had too many and was giving away the surplus!)

    I talk to my plants all the time.  For some reason, I assume they are all male.  Does anyone else ascribe gender to their own plants I wonder?
