Onion

Gayle showed me the Onion website with clips from ONN
there is a news article on Gap Kids clothing on her blog but this one caught my eye! Excellent


In The Know: War On Terror

Goodnight Irene ...

Saturday saw 40,000 gasheads heading for Wembley stadium - 2 of which were me and my eldest son - and what a day it was!
A game of high-tension, from the first few minutes going down 1-nil to the Shrews to us coming back to getting 3-1 and getting through to League 1.

Next season we will be playing Leeds Utd (my brother-in-Laws team - he is very excited about the prospect of loosing to us!)
Wembley Stadium was a great venue - but expensive and they haven't quite worked out how to get everyone out of the car-parks yet!

Wembley Wembley, we're off to wembley

Well we did it -we got tickets and we are off to Wembley on Saturday!

Frustration

Brilliant news - Rovers are in the play-offs on Saturday at Wembley (much to Gayle and her family's disbelief) but to my utter dismay i can't get tickets!!

We (me and my friends) have been trying all day on the website and all evening on the phone lines Gayle says - who knew there was 35000 rovers supports out there!

Anyone have spare tickets??

Foundation little service - fun with a phone camera!

On Sunday there was a larger than normal little service for Foundation - it was designed as a guest service.

there are a few pictures on Flickr of the service taken on my phones camera - makes for some interesting light effects. Click here for more

Farmdation

Last week we became the proud caretakers of an allotment in North Bristol, after a false start of digging the incorrect plot for 3 hours, yesterday we got things well underway - planting our first veg - some potatoes!

Yesterday was spent digging more ground over - and i have the blisters to show for it - but there was something very satisfying about the process, the blood, sweat and tears - a bit of hard graft, being at one with the earth, planting to bring new life, camaraderie with fellow allotment owners was evident with everyone being extremely friendly. I could go on with the trite phrases but somehow it was actually like that

So here's to all the fresh veg the Farmdation crew will be enjoying and a few moments of peace in the shed - yes our plot even has its own shed!

PS this picture is not of our actual allotment - pictures of the work in progress will be appearing on various foundation members blogs in the future
