My early Christmas present
After yesterday's post - Gifts Gardeners DONT want - it was only fitting that Santa leave me a lump of coal in my stocking this year. However, I must have done some good things in the past 12 months because my wife surprised me with an early Christmas present when I arrived home from work yesterday.
This very elegant chair has replaced a broken wooden contraption, circa "the cave period", and is just delightful. It even has wheels...!
This is a little insight into the Blotanical, GTNI headquarters as well. While it's certainly no Google or Facebook HQ, it's very workable.
I must admit, I'm a little unsure as to Deb's rationale for buying me such a beautiful chair. Obviously, I'm very comfortable with it, but I can foresee that getting away from the PC is going to be a much harder proposition.

Who's responsible for this...?

That is so sweet! Maybe she's just recognizing that all the hours you spend keeping this site going should at least be comfy. :)

I don't know, you could get in hot water saying you might have trouble leaving the computer--people might expect even bigger things from you on a certain website you manage. :)

LOL. Shhh! Keep it down Benjamin. If my wife ever found about that site.... ;-)

The perfect gift for the guru of Blotanical! Now you will have a more comfortable arrangment for all the long hours you work. :)

Great gift! There will be no chair races just because you have wheels now.

@Racquel - cheers. It will certainly make some of those all-nighters a little more comfortable.
@Lona - Are you serious? I thought that's why there WERE there...
