Prams and Thankyous

Molly's slept through most of the night two nights running, which is nice.

It's foggy here today. We could fancy a walk later, but I'm having big problems with the pram, which is like quantum physics in terms of trying to work out what the fuck's going on with it. After much cursing, it's all assembled bar the hood. This morning I'll ring the shop and see if they can talk me through it.

Thanks to everyone who's called by Pig Sty Avenue with best wishes and congratulations the last few days. The best way to thank a blogger is to give them a link, so:

Apprentice

Andrea

Factobrunt (and Daisy)

John

Luc

Dano

JL Pagano

Tammy

Laoha

Justin

Thanks again lads and lasses.

Now, another go with the pram, do some studying, and ponder a big question concerning the chickens' future... In between bouts of baby-gazing, that is.

    Is that one of those travel system thingies? I've been looking at prams but they just baffle me :s Don't remember getting this confused when Small Child was a baby all those years ago.

    It certainly is, though. That's exactly it... However, I have it sorted now. I think that might be a significant scientific breakthrough. Or something.

Leech or flatworm? Ants and Swiss Chard

Image
For the 2nd time in a week or so, (1st time regarding dwarf beans ), I'm following Alys Fowler's advice, this time with regard to Swiss chard .  Long story short, after midsummer plants which often bolt if planted in spring will resist the impulse to do so, probably because of shortening days; (I say shortening, but in Glasgow, in July, we're still getting 18 hours of daylight).   I got a packet of Bright Lights , at a good price, (another reason to wait until July before sowing, lots of bargains, I've noticed). But where to sow them? Most of the 2nd bed is under a tarpaulin, but it wasn't quite big enough to cover the whole bed, so the last 5ft or so went under a sheet of plastic, (in the background of the photo in this post, here .) Transparent plastic was a foolish idea, weeds were growing underneath it, so I covered most of it with sheets of metal from the old shed. I decided to leave the tarp, but use the area beneath the plastic for the chard. Who-ah there...

"Chevy Chase. Fuck ever happen to him?"

As Paulie Walnuts said in The Sopranos. It got me thinking. As it happens, he's been working steadily , but you can see what Paulie means. It's like that with film and television actors: you don't see them in anything for a year or two, and you wonder if they're dead or perhaps on a lengthy charlie and booze session. Or maybe doing proper acting on the stage? Only appearing on the telly gives them meaning to us. That video with Paul Simon was on one of the cable music channels the other day. It always makes me smile. As for Paulie and the rest of the crew, the clock's ticking. Of course, America already knows how things finish, but we don't. My mate Ian was telling me about a friend of his, visiting the States a few weeks ago, flicking through the channels in his hotel bedroom, he hit on a repeat of THE final episode, just beginning. What a quandry! He watched it, as it goes, but kept shtum when he came home.

How many pallets can you fit in the back of a Fiat 500?

At least 1. Maybe I could have got 3 altogether, at a pinch. Also 200+ gorse seeds, which have begun to look in danger of damping off, so I'm thinking they'll be better off at the allotment in the fresh air. I'm worried about slugs, snails and woodpigeons, though, so I put them in a wheelbarrow, covered with a net. Also this morning, planted a row of beetroot detroit.
