Allotment planning! - Juliet and Marna are growing tasty thing
http://allotment.livejournal.com/10048.html
Juliet and Marna are growing tasty thing. Juliet and Marnas allotment. Right: one reason why this was not as good a year (other than the weather.) was a certain lack of organisation. So this year, we are doing Organised Planning right now! The idea is to spend this Sunday (Oct 7th) as follows:. 11am-ish: go down allotment, lift potatoes, other similar jobs. Poss break out storm kettle. Anyone wishing to assist with any of this (or indeed just sit around and drink tea :-) ) is more than welcome! Bah if I ...

Essays from East Lawrencetown: June 2010
http://sadpercy.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Monday, June 21, 2010. Himself is home. And not working nights, which is not home, as far as I`m concerned. Let the normal times begin for the first time since February. For a while at least! Monday, June 21, 2010. Friday, June 18, 2010. Hoping for a white hot summer. It’s after eight pm and it’s still thirty degrees. Even though it’s only June. Everyone is hoping this will be one of those summers. We haven’t had one for a while. And when the sun went do...

Essays from East Lawrencetown: The wearing of the poppy
http://sadpercy.blogspot.com/2011/11/wearing-of-poppy.html
Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Friday, November 11, 2011. The wearing of the poppy. The many faces of Remembrance Day. Here, where there was no war, just commerce and volunteering for service overseas, it is a very sombre week, everyone wears poppies and it is full of ceremonies remembering all the soldiers who fought in WW1 and WW2 (and others of course). (it is also a big drunk for many). It was a defining issue for the young country of Canada. Friday, November 11, 2011. East Coast ...

Essays from East Lawrencetown: To Libya with love
http://sadpercy.blogspot.com/2011/02/to-libya-with-love.html
Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. To Libya with love. We see the carnage on Twitter. We want it to stop. As Western Europeans/ North Americans, we reach for the tools to do that. Call on Obama. Email the EU Commission. March on the embassy. Campaign to motivate NATO. I am reading Amin Maalouf's " The Crusades through Arab Eyes". It is as gut-wrenching as the photos I am clicking through on Twitter. Disembowellment. Siege. Starvation. So here's the thing. Maybe...

Essays from East Lawrencetown: Yes, it's all really funny till someone gets hurt
http://sadpercy.blogspot.com/2010/08/yes-its-all-really-funny-till-someone.html
Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Thursday, August 05, 2010. Yes, it's all really funny till someone gets hurt. Smart ass anti-baby comedy sketches inc. So we were talking about it this evening, in that part of the evening when we stand in the kitchen after work drinking tea and telling each other what really just friggin' sucked. None of us could believe it. Himself couldn't believe it. And he doesn't even know them. And then they get SHAFTED by some bureaucrat today. In Ireland, you ha...

Geoglyphs' Ramblings: Why Human Rights Matter
http://geoglyphs-ramblings.blogspot.com/2009/12/why-human-rights-matter.html
Ramblings of a curious character. Thursday, December 10, 2009. Why Human Rights Matter. 61 years ago today the United Nations General Assembly adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Slightly over three years earlier, the Allies had liberated Europe, including the concentration camps at Auschwitz. Nowadays, it's not unusual to hear someone mocking human rights legislation, perhaps agreeing with Gene Hunt. Many were told their families were dead. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Geoglyphs' Ramblings: November 2009
http://geoglyphs-ramblings.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Ramblings of a curious character. Friday, November 27, 2009. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. In our age there is no such thing as "keeping out of politics.". George Orwell, Politics and the English language. In yesterdays' publication of the Murphy Report. There is an interesting phrase: mental reservation. In plain En...

I am useless at remembering even the existence of the cinema so will someone else please organise a trip? OMG TRON OMG TRON.

Geoglyphs' Ramblings: August 2009
http://geoglyphs-ramblings.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Ramblings of a curious character. Thursday, August 06, 2009. On 6 August 1945 the US military dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, killing approximately 140,000. The morality of this has been debated ever since, with one side claiming more lives would be lost in an invasion of Japan. (Why a demonstration in sight of the Japanese mainland wasn't an option puzzles me.). The debate will probably continue. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Blog Around the Clock.
