    It was a novella and it was as long as it needed to be.

    Dandelions apparently, albeit without the caffeine. Here, from the River Cottage Handbook Number 7(!) I have some serious doubts but I might give it a shot this year

    Minor Pleasures

    Chris, this has led me to look at the video and it starts with some lad with a pure Fine Gael accent counting it in, wtf?? Is this some well known Irish thing that passed me by?
  4. Lili Marlene

    Minor Pleasures

    Great interview with Kelley Deal here Kelley Deal: ‘I threw a TV out of a hotel window with Nirvana’ I can’t believe I’m going to admit this, but at the Breeders ATP I was very excited and went over to Gang of Four’s table and started talking about how much their band meant to me. Eventually...

    Minor Pleasures

    Be my friend on Goodreads. I'm in the thumped group, which was "last active 29 June 2008" so its all go in there. If we were friends on there and now we're not you must have been annoying and I'm sorry. My favourite overused word i can't stop noticing is "thrumming" or "thrummed." People need...

    I will answer honestly. I've altered this recipe to personal taste somewhat over the years but along these lines: That's what I said, yeah
  10. Lili Marlene

    Minor Pleasures

    Since we're all being positive these days (which disgusts me btw since being positive is as fatalistic and pointless as being negative) I'll admit I had a good day today: I got up, drove the girlfriend to work, came back and watered the plants and took care of some things in the polytunnel...

  13. Lili Marlene

    Minor Pleasures

    There's a house around here that has a border hedge made completely with some form of ferns, I assume to protect against the strong winds and sea air. It looks pretty cool and they have a big crop garden going on as well. They're not right by the sea like you are though. You can kind of see it...

    Yeah, one of those make the right about of discordant while still working. I'll stick with my Richey chords by playing A.

    Minor Pleasures

    I think this is the chord JDB plays in the Revol video that confused me no end when I was learning guitar as a teenager. I reckon it's just a showing off way of pretending the song isn't basic power chords (About 28 seconds in) It's mostly just the Open G shape moved up two frets, right?

    I moved from Weetabix to Shredded Wheat aged about 9 and haven't had Weetabix since. I haven't had Shredded Wheat since about the age of 16 mind you. I've been all about the porridge for about a decade now. Similarly my dad had porridge every day growing up and hasn't had a bowl since he was...

    I was reading gloomy things about climate change and came across the stat of there being over 1000 mountain gorillas when there used to be only about 300 and I was like, "huh, that's good, not sure I knew that" and then about 10 seconds later I remembered, oh yeah, gorillas mot as scare now...
