Pop quiz, boys and girls. After finishing my breakfast earlier this week, I did two things. Your task is to decide which of the two was the most enjoyable and rewarding. First, I sat at the computer in my study, aimlessly cruising Facebook for several minutes in one of those pointless time-wasting exercises that have become the bane of 21st-century life. Then I walked out into a gorgeous, balmy spring day on a gardening excursion that involved planting potatoes, watering hanging baskets of flowers and moving strawberry plants from a bed earmarked for tomatoes. (Timer ticks away the minutes.) Okay, put your pencils down and turn in your exams. (Much shuffling of papers.) Congratulations! I've always said you were a very perceptive bunch.
