The Stuff You Do When Bad Weather Shuts The School

With basic literacy students we do something called language experience where you negotiate a text with the student, and then type it up, print it, chop it around, get them to write it out...  One short text can produce hours of work, and is good for letter and word recognition and formation.  Well, the techniques seem to work with a five year old native speaker.  You can make a singing lesson of it, too

Lyrics | Winx Club lyrics - We Are The Winx lyrics


Close your eyes
And open your heart.
Believe in yourself,
That's how it starts.
Dreams will come true just wait and see,
'Cos the magic's in you and the magic's in me!

We are the Winx!
We are the Winx!
Come join the club!
We are the Winx!
We are the Winx!
We are the Winx!
Come join the club!
We are the Winx!

Magical flowers,
Digital powers,
Rhythmns and tunes,
The sun and the moon,
Magic shapes and shifting tides,
And the fire burning deep inside,

We've got the style,
And we've got the flare.
Look all you want,
Just don't touch the hair!

We are the Winx!
We are the Winx!
Come join the club!
We are the Winx!
We are the Winx!
We are the Winx!
Come join the club!
We are the Winx!

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.
