Asian Football Reports...

...is the working title.  Though, mind, it's still at the foundation digging stage of being under construction.  The template wants tweaked, but the main thing is to get contributors, and I'm going to start on the tefl contacts tomorrow.

Posts should be approximately 1000 - 2000 words, and they should be about the game itself, the context of the teams and their histories and places in their leagues, together with observations on the ground, talks with the fans and others, how you got there, how much to get in, what there is to eat and drink in the vicinity, any adventures...  Plus photos and other multimedia, if available.  I've opened a gmail account for it:asianfootballreports@gmail.com . I'll get the contributors to send me their text and multimedia there, and I'll edit it into the blog.

    I'll send this on to a few people I know too.

    Thanks Michael. Spread the word. You know the kind of thing that's needed.

    Mate of mine is trying to put together a report on Urawa Reds vs Kobe for you.
    He has your email.

    Hey Michael that would be brilliant. I was resigned to getting nothing until the Chinese season starts after the New Year, anything before that would be a much appreciated bonus.

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
