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.

LTPTP XXV: We Shall Overcome

Image
We shall indeed.  It's a lovely wee tune to learn.  I've almost memorized it this morning, the idea being, when I encounter a piano, I want something to sit down and play on the bugger.  I've a feeling that my keyboard's keys are lighter than a proper piano's, and there'll be a bit of effort transferring the skills I've gotten so far.  Probably, at some point this year, I'll be in workplace with a piano.  I'll print off some simple music and scales, and work at it, but it's likely to be in a public place so I want something to avoid making a twat of myself initially. It feels right that this should be the first tune I learn by heart.

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

VINEGAR!

That wine I started a while back has turned to vinegar. Well, that answered questions I was asking myself back then, viz., 'Do we get vinegar flies around here?' And, 'Are all these little flies vinegar flies?' The fuckers. I thought I was being a clever recycler, not buying proper air-locks and using the old plastic-and-lacky-band method. Ah well, another step up another learning curve. Anybody need three gallons of white wine vinegar and two gallons of the impossibly exotic strawberry wine vinegar? It's been a 'business day', dealing with officials and filling out forms. Don't get me started! Alex came over tonight. He gave me the Aphonic CD (he's been in touch with them and they sent him several copies). I thoroughly approve of this new trend of bands getting their work known over the internet, by-passing (initially at least) the poisonous attentions of the music industry. Come to think of it, some of the people in that business are rat
