mmm…sunny weather, in march, what to do?
Garden, that’s what.
This may become an unofficial garden blog, but let’s face it, there’s bugger all happening on the painting front, so might as well do something else instead. Apart from the fact that I have developed a serious interest in vegetable ( not flower) growing.
So I’ve sown 5 varieties of tomato, 2 types of chilli, parsnips, broad beans, peas, beetroot, carrots, 3 types of aubergines, my potatoes ( Maris Piper and Desiree) are chitting nicely and today I will shortly be sowing some shallots.
I know I’m more or less behind in sowing compared to others in this area, but hopefully,they’ll all have time to catch up come the summer.
Expect pictures. Plus, i am very chuffed my garlic didn’t rot and is now 8″ high. Woot woot as they say.
It’s amazing how possesive i get of my plants, and how excited I am to see them grow.
Maybe a change of career from pharmaceutical to horticultural is needed.

bananas are good for you
Tuesday, July 19, 2005
i went into tesco’s last night to get a couple more bottles of red wine, and one of the counters was covered in bananas.i like bananas – although not banana flavoured stuff, it always tastes really synthetic to me – but not overripe ones
so i did a search to see what bananas do for you, and lo and behold, it’s like a wonder drug if you believe the hype, although if it cures hangovers, i’m there

my back garden
I don’t know what the flowers above are, i think they’re some kind of pansy maybe, i threw in some seeds last year and that’s what happened to them.My favourite ones are the deep red with the shocking pink outside, they look exactly like crushed velvet.
And lastly, my three pairs of shoes…
I’m going back to Wales today, I have an actual real live weekend off, so i can personally deliver my fathers Fathers Day card.
rose wall
Friday, June 10, 2005
i’d like a wall of roses too, mine’s bravely putting on three for show today, beautiful deep blood red roses.When it eventually starts to discover it can climb, I’m sure it’ll be happier too.
today..

I’m making lasagne, haven’t made any for while, it’s one of my favourite comfort foods.I forgot though that my oven only has one setting, and that’s burn..I made one for me, and three for other people.Let’s see how many of them want to speak to me after they’ve tasted it
And while they may have been lacklustre at Morecambe,the Anti-Nowhere League were excellent last night in the Bristol Bierkeller, which, incidentally has Goldblade next month, for which I will be working…BOOOOO!!!
