nom-nom apple mine, which is pretty good as far as I'm concerned. For a while now she's been burbling along, but this is the first phrase where everything has been intelligible. Joy!

I don't drive; I cycle. Last Sunday 5 of us met in Redhall Walled Garden and went up the Water of Leith path to Currie, up Kirkgate and to Balerno. 15 miles on a sunny afternoon, good company and good views over the city. |

| it's all about the daughter |
[Jan. 22nd, 2008|11:09 am] |
My daughter likes dancing, but I'm not sure I'd take her to a club: http://news.scotsman.com/health/Baby-you39re-a-great-little.3695624.jp
In other news: the daughter has her first skelped knee. She kept falling over at the allotment on Sunday, and I'd turn round and find her head down and feet sticking up and waggling. Now she's got three little bruises and a dab of blood on her knee and every time I change her nappy I'm torn. Part of me is thinking what a terrible father, the other is feeling proud of her for not crying when she repeatedly fell over. |

| Chris Wood ... my new musical hero |
[Jan. 3rd, 2008|10:16 am] |
Five hundred thousand English pounds,
for this old house and a piece of ground...
Chris Wood's The cottager's reply is on BBC listen again for the next few hours ... fantastic stuff: wonderful acoustic guitar playing and a tale of pride versus cash.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/latejunction/pip/bcdc0/ - the first 3 1/2 minutes of the show.
He's playing at Celtic Connections on Sunday 20 Jan, so I'll try and persuade my lover to look after the girl... |

| Greenwash re: sustainable |

Am I the only one who gets wound up by the phrase Sustainable Nuclear Energy? The EU seems to think it's a good thing and is funding a forum. Quite apart from the substance of the forum (apparently the next generation of nuclear power plants will solve all the problems, honest), it's the use of 'sustainable' to make the forum palatable. Just like 'community' is difficult to argue against when it's tagged onto a concept. In fact, why don't the EU go the whole hog and have a Sustainable community nuclear energy? It's in everyone's back yard! |
