      Some lovely photos, there. I’ve borrowed the one of me in the pool for my desktop. I might even try and transfer it onto the mypod, if i have a spare half day to work out how to do it.

      Apparently, a ‘sourcier’ is someone who searches for water, using divining rods; a ‘sorcier’ is a witch. However, as the sign was outside the house of someone who removes warts using a form of magic, maybe they practice both arts; or maybe they simply mispelled the word, as someone down the road from us presumably has with their ‘Junc Shop’.

    Mother’s day 

    Some photos from last night’s Mother’s Day meal. Tasty!

      Very tasty, indeed. That large piece of bark on the side of my plate was cinnamon, which we took home with us, to reuse … it was hard not to imagine a chunk that size having already made a number of previous appearances!

    Nice… 

    Worked up near Derby today, nice view at the station!

      I don’t recall ever going to Derby, but there’s meant to be some lovely countryside nearby, well away from those monstrous cooling towers. I believe Darcy’s Pemberton Hall is to be found thereabouts.

    Only in Brighton 

    Spotted this chap as I arrived in Brighton theis morning…

      I can’t quite see what it is… is it a man on a really high bike? How bizarre – guess it means your trouser legs don’t get splashed when you go through puddles! Surely a bit difficult for drivers to spot though?

    • dodman 6:26 pm on 05/02/2010 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      I wonder what benefit there is from such a high riding position … what does he do at traffic lights – rest his foot on a nearby car?

      Very odd. As you say, ‘only in Brighton’. Maybe he was an escapee from a circus.

    The Queen 

    When Han and I were wandering round Brighton the other day, we came across this in a sweetshop window. It’s made out of jelly beans…

      Some good pictures there – but do I have to click on each of them separately to see them full size? Is there some easier viewing option? Maybe a slideshow …

      Shame Geoff didn’t catch you doing your ‘jump’!

      • decoy 11:01 am on 02/01/2010 Permalink | Log in to Reply

        indeed. The “jump”! The kite was already quite overpowered when a freak gust yanked me fully some meters in the air and many more forward, where I proceeded to land on my knees ruining my “good” trousers and also my knees.

    Camping photos 

    spot the difference

    I’ve uploaded a few photos from a recent trip to London and camping in cornwall. We stayed a couple of nights near Axeminster in a bed and breakfast, taking in a meal at the River Cottage Canteen (very tasty) and a look at Lyme Regis (we didn’t find any fossils worth bringing home). Once we’d driven to Cornwall and pitched the tent for a planned four night stay, a barrage of non stop wind and regular rain commenced, and after a couple of nights we decide it wasn’t worth the fight and popped home early. But we’d had a couple of good days, fitting in a couple of surfing sessions, a coastal walk and visiting a castle and a couple of towns.

      The Cobb looks lethal. I wonder how many people get swept off it.

      • decoy 3:25 pm on 07/09/2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

        indeed. I did stroll along it to near the end and given the epic wind and crazy waves it was quite scary. my trusty flipflops, however, gave me all the grip i needed!

    Mighty 

    I was passing through SCATS stores the other day and discovered that they stocked Thor’s Hammer. Handy!

     
    • dodman 8:14 pm on 21/07/2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      Now, that’s what I call a rubber mallet. Presumably you bought it, to hammer home the corner posts of your vegetable bed?

    More hard slog this weekend. Fitted carpet to green room too.

      Hammering in those posts into the rock hard earth and removing the turf from the flower border to bulk out the raised bed have not only knackered by back but most of my other muscles as well!

      Thankfully, there isn’t much more to be done…

      Lulu ‘christened’ the patch with a No. 1 as the last sack of compost was being emptied. Fortunately, she was so distraught by the powdery nature of the soil sticking to her paws, that she hasn’t gone near it since.

    The beginnings of the vegetable plot 

    Started work on the raised vegetable beds this evening. Hard work!

     
    • dodman 11:05 pm on 09/07/2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      That looks great. Remember to leave a small pathway alongside the fence, so you don’t have to step on the bed.

    • pinkie 9:36 am on 10/07/2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      We are planning to use the concrete fence supports as part of the raised bed (instead of more wood). I found some spare patio tiles and some bricks down the side of the garage. I though these could be used as stepping stones between the veg. Do you think that would work?

    • dodman 12:45 pm on 10/07/2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      That should work fine.

      Excellent photos – though I find they’re easier to view in Picasa, with its slideshow, than clicking individually.

      photos are added in the normal manner. “Dashboard” -> “new post”, etc.

      posting via the front page is text only i’m afraid.
