Gardening

I believe it’s getting close to that time of year when sowing tomato seeds becomes necessary. Visiting the vegetable garden yesterday, I was astonished to find no broad bean seedlings have yet emerged. Gratifyingly, the sugarloaf continues to crop well, though.

whats really interesting about that badger, badger thing is that anyone, anyone with even the inteligence of a half-eaten water biscuit can tell that it is absolute and total crap.

i hate it.

golf

Slightly and I had a fairly epic game of golf today. Proper golf. None of this pitch-and-putt nonsense, a real par 70 course. We even had to borrow golf shoes and wear smart clothing!
Deciding to do 9 holes, we were just about to tee off when some old biddy yodeled at us and explained that we were at the women’s tees and demanded that we use the men’s. We attempted to explain that we were, in fact, crap, but she had none of it. These women were highly annoying as they were behind us throughout the course, telling us we were out of bounds and nearly hitting us several times with their shots.
Under the beady eyes of these women, we took nine shots on the first hole. only four over par! Still, we improved and finished the 9 holes in 54 shots each (par was 35). This kinda works out as 2 extra shots a hole, so we have a handicap of 36ish…
On several occasions we achieved “bogey” and a couple of times i nearly got a par!

King Rat

this is possibly the worst review I have ever read. It’s a review of King Rat by China Mieville and suggests that it is very much like American Gods and Neverwhere (both by Neil Gaiman). Mayhaps it’s worth getting out of the library.
