Whilst trying to get my broken Currah Microspeech to work with one of my Spectrum Pluses
(The one with the frustratingly intermittent keyboard membrane) my partner Sarah was out 
in the garden, gardening.  Having failed with my soldering, again I eventually gave up on
trying to make it my Spectrum to me, and instead started making an asterisk move around
our telly screen.

A couple of hours later Sarah came in to see why I wasn't helping her plant out the 
Nastertiums and my only retort was "But look what I *have* done!  And I've even defined
some UDGs using BIN in my DATA statements!"

She was as impressed as you'd imagine.  As I'd not plugged my DIVmmc in, and didn't have
a tape deck to hand, I photographed the listing to preserve it and pulled the power lead.
Later I retyped the listing into an emulator to generate this TAP file to submit to the 
csscgc2020.  This process was very reminiscent of keying in type-in listings from Sinclair
Programs but without the benefit of having a younger brother to hand to read out the 
statements so I could concentrate on finding the keys.


Instructions are included [keys: Q,A,O,P.  Deadhead the flowers, avoid the stalks, 
plantpots end your game].  On my best go, I scored 25 points.
