The AA Ireland

I just checked with AA about their European coverage, and my much to my delight, my AA membership includes AA Ireland.  I know where all my riding holidays are going to be now!

Evaporative Cooling with Laundry

We just stick a rack of wet clothes in front of the fan.  We wouldn't be getting a fan with a wet filter for the same effect.

Air movers are really expensive...

Bank Holiday Heatwave

A heatwave coinciding with a Bank Holiday weekend is a dream come true for most British.  The British loves to frolick in the Sun, it is possibly a common Northern European pasttime.

On the other hand, it is a bit of a nightmare for me.  Maybe all the supermarket shopping is a subconscious response to the heat...

Peanut Brigade

Someone called me "Peanut Brigade". As it turned out, it has a history and specific, it early supporter of Jimmy Carter, which I am way too young to do.

What that person meant was that I goes to free events. When I was younger, they were catered by pizzas, these days they are catered by pastries.  So if anything, I am pizza or pastries brigade.

Spring Growing

I always want to bring forward the growing season by starting in March, from the solstice, but in reality, it only really starts one and two months from the solstice.  Maybe I need to remember for next year. 

On the other hand, there are only so much brown bin space I could prune.

Cardboard Collar

I saved some cardboard to make some cardboard collar for the new plants going into ground. Let see if the tomatoes survive the upcoming heat wave...  I just have to hope for the best for the carrots.

Scandinavian Mile

A Swede told us about "Swedish Mile", it is 10km... I guess Scandinavian Mile just never caught on, for the better...
