Tom Covers
My mate Zombizi gave me this link which in turn links to covers of Tom Waits songs. Which I'll get time to listen to in the next few days.
Leech or flatworm? Ants and Swiss Chard
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...
Late 1970s when I was a wee bugger with my first Harley Davidson....I saw Tom Waits in Philipsburg, New Jersey.

But the show was great!
He ended with a rif about getting home drunk and tired with the old lady, shaking the toilet to make it stop running, and making toast with butter and honey as a snack.
I don't know why I remember this so clearly when everything else in my life is a blur :P
Wow. Owning a Harley D and going to see Tom. Around that time I owned a Honda CD 175, and was a punk.
