And what with all that tunnelling, I'm knackered now

I don't know if my posts are still getting through to *wat*er and f*c*b**k.  Somebody call by and let me know if they are, because I can't on to the former for love nor money tonight, and it's too late to start trying to get on to the latter just now. 

Except for strictly work based stuff, and a quick squint at the gmail, I've been more or less offline for over a month now.  It's good to be back at the old Avenue.  Never thought it would be possible to miss a blog, but I did. 

And Asianfootball reports should be almost fully functional soon.  I've been warming up with the Asian Cup.  I say warming up, I nearly nodded off during the final last night.  I'd love to get a report from anyone who saw any games in Qatar though.

    Can't vouch for the other, but your post made it on to Twitter. A couple of sites you might want to plug AFR on:

    long time, no read... well, in blog terms anyway.

    your posts seem to be getting through but are not updating on my blog list... which is odd.

    rumor is you may lose Carroll today, if LFC get their £50M for Torres.

    are you eating lots of noodles?

    Michael: thanks for those links. I need to post about a proper match myself afore I can decently plug it, though. I'm hoping to see Shanghai in the next few weeks, the season starts after the New Year holiday, which starts tomorrow, in fact I can hear the rumble of distant fireworks now.

    Chris, I've given you a whole blogpost mate.

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
