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.

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.
