less pain, more colour
You can stop the planes, but you can’t stop the spring
Let's talk about the meadow, because that is of course what you are reading this for.
Normal service has been resumed
April 22, 2010
Apologies for the lengthy delay, but now that the spring is back, so am I. I’ve been watching the meadow weekly, waiting for the spring, and I can now say that the wait is over. The plot is covered in stuff, in particular a weird and unidentified looking plant has just about taken over, but I have […]

Meadow flowers
September 21, 2009
I don’t really have an explanation as to why I decided to grow the meadow (I’m sticking with the name meadow even though it is only 15 m2). I suppose there are several reasons: it requires little maintenance we are in a field, it makes sense if it was spring time, I may have done […]
Forking and hoeing
September 20, 2009
First off, I really don’t get enough time to write in here, and if I did, this would be much more interesting because I have many sources for new and interesting experiences. The boys alone make me think about me and my own life in new ways and that’s fun in itself, but this is […]
the project
September 5, 2009
We have been here nearly three months, and the summer is almost gone, and the days are drawing in. This morning we had some fine weather and the the four of us were out in the garden. Digging and burning stuff, two of my favourite pastimes. There are a lot of brambles around. These things are annoying, […]
(drive) and (sleep) but not at the same time
September 1, 2009
I wake up at 6:10, in fact I normally beat the clock to it, and wake up at around 6:03, and then wait for 7 minutes for the sickening sound of the alarm. I hit the snooze button, and then at more or less 6:13 precisely, I jump out of bed. More routine, more hum-drum. […]
Alot to report, but no time to do it
July 23, 2009
I will be posting an update soon, have no fear! I started the new job and my leisure time has been cut to around 4 minutes per week. On top of my TWO jobs, I have also taken on a freelance project (out of sympathy, rather that necessity, you understand). Anyways, will update this soon.

Every silver lining has a cloud
July 4, 2009
So things are great, I haven’t started my new job yet, and the weather has been pretty damned good. Fantastic even. Life in the country side is good. There is a family of foxes in the next-door field, and we often see the vixen and her two cubs playing silly games, and I’m sure I’ll […]
D = 3
June 28, 2009
D, (that’s just his initial, not his name), my little boy turned 3 today (technically tomorrow, but as he says, we are celebrating his birthday today). We got him a HET200A, I admit it is an odd present (for anyone), and he loves it more that I think is healthy, but I will deal with […]
