Eugh,

Experienced the ungodly fusion of 'Friday' by Rebecca Black and Glee, last night. The combo of horribly catchy lyrics and Chipmunk-style delivery were something truly dreadful.

Need to sandpaper my soul to get the stain off....

My latest pleasures..

I planted my seeds in the garden the other week. The flowering beauty of my apple tree[let] inspired me to make my next step. And so, compost bag and seed packs in hand I cleaned up the weeds at the far end of the garden, planting carrots, spring onions and radishes in their place.. hopefully they will grow just as profusely!

I still dream of using the greenhouse, a massive tree still squats over it that only an act of God could possibly clear away (where is a lightning storm when you need one??). In the meantime I have my 6 feet square plot to dote over and guard (the neighbours' tabby seems to be drawn to it as an al fresco litter tray). Hopefully it will start bearing fruit [ahem] in the next couple of weeks.

Why did Osama Bin Laden cross the road?

.... just kidding!

You've probably heard all the jokes by now, so I wont present any more as 'new' at the risk of testing your patience. My favourite is Elton John's song at the funeral: 'Sandle in the Bin'. Ha ha ha.

Me? I think its all a load of rubbish. How does a guy requiring regular kidney dialysis stay alive in the mountains of Afganistan for a decade? Loved the way he dyed his beard for his few television 'appearances' in the 2000s. Wouldnt think a devout Muslim guy would be using the Just for Men, would you? The dude has been stone dead for a while, so why has Obama cashed in his chips on OBL's most dangerous man in the world brand? Makes you think something dramatic is coming down the tubes pretty soon... God help us.

Meanwhile silver has taken an enormous hit - waterfall/cliff/freefall metaphors aside the POS has given back 25%+ and will probably do more before settling. And thats fine, I will add a few more pieces to my stash in the weeks to come. Might sell some if the value skyrockets next time.

In home news the apple 'tree' I planted has start to come to life. The tentative little leaf(lets?) are sprouting and it feels like a thrill. Every other day I walk into the garden, pick off any strands of spider webs, remove any weeds which have strayed into the flowerpot and just admire nature in action. On the other hand, the tomato seeds I pick up from the pound shop have refused to be so obliging. X and myself give them a drink and a prod once in a while, but no miracle of life from the windowsill growbag as yet.
