Doncaster v Newcastle
This will not be an easy match for us. It will not have been made easier by training ground fisticuffs, ffs.
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...
I wonder about Carroll. Besides his alleged nightclub shenanigans, he has form on the training ground too.
ReplyDeleteRemember N'Zogbia?
Indeed, Michael. The boy troubles me sometimes. Being a bit physical on the pitch will do us no harm in the Premier. Off the pitch, will be troublesome.
ReplyDeleteThough if he keeps on scoring, I'm prepared to overlook the occasional right hander.
ReplyDeleteBetter that than Michael fucking Owen.
