The Cheek Of It

Good Evening Dear Reader, I join you as a pretty pissed off blogger. I have just discovered via technorati that some splogger is using the posts from this site, as content on their own spamblogs. Grrr. What a bloody cheek! They are using what seems to be some kind of scraping software, I have visited the site, and although the terms state that users shouldn’t steal someone elses content, what the heck do they expect! I haven’t got a clue how to stop this, so if anyone has any ideas, please leave a comment. Thank you :-)

OK, taking nice deep breaths and calming down.

Alas Poor Seedlings and Other Stuff

It’s really quite nice here today, a bit chilly, but pleasant none the less. I know I shouldn’t be saying this, because the last time I commented on the weather led to a torrential downpour, but I’ll chance it. You know, it’s really starting to feel like Spring.

Yesterdays trip to Wok Mania went well, we ate all we could for a fiver. Admittedly, some of us ate more then others, but overall I think we got our moneys worth. There was even a good range of vegetarian options for Number Three Son. Usually, the poor chap is faced with a pretty limited choice. While I was in town, I forgot to check whether The Hills Have Eyes was still showing at the cinema. Not that I want to see it you understand. In fact nothing could be further from my mind, Mr Blogs seems to think I would like to, but he is wrong. Personally, I think that if you have seen one film which involves maniacs hacking people to death, you have, pretty much seen them all. (As it happens I saw the original version of THHE, although not intentionally, I got it mixed up with How Green Was My Valley, a tale of everyday folk in a Welsh mining village, and not at all the same thing.) Anyhow, I meant to check, so that I could tell him, most triumphantly, that is was being shown no more. I may tell him that anyway, so ssh, you know nothing Dear Reader.

Bad news on the woodland seedlings front. If you are wondering what on earth I mean, see this post. I seem to have killed them. This is a common problem with anything I grow in pots or containers. I kill plants with kindness. I am a chronic over-waterer. Anyhow, my poor little seedlings have gone all mouldy looking, poo! I suppose there is a chance that they will survive, but I’m not that optimistic. It’s not as bad as it could be though, I do have another packet, so if this batch doesn’t work out, I can at least try again.

And now for another meme, these are fast becoming an obsession to rival online quizzes. Todays meme comes from http://bdinsanity.blogdrive.com

1. What is your favorite veggie? Umm, carrots, they’re tasty and really versatile.

2. Are there any veggies you don’t eat? Brussels Sprouts, they are vile. As a child I swore I would never eat them when I grew up, and I never have.

3. Which veggie do you think has the funniest name? Lolo Rosso, it sounds like an Italian footballer, he’d play in goal for Chelsea.

4. If you’re a vegetarian, why are you and do you like it? If you’re not a vegetarian, would you ever want to become one? I used to be one, but gave it up about a year ago. I got rather tired of eating the same things all the time. I would take it up again if I lived in an area with more veggie options.
