“Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something, or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe, and which mean very little.”

Welcome to the Man Cave/Laundry Room complete with Artex ceiling and walls. It is a small space ram packed with useful tools and washing machine. It was raining and I wasn't feeling well so this is it. Will do better tomorrow :-)

Artex.
I'm not a fan of this particular ceiling finish. I used to labour for a plasterer and removing this stippled effect to re-skim a ceiling was the devil of a job and generally resulted in finding bits of it in my hair and floating round my eye sockets for days.
Cross lit with red and blue light has changed my opinion of it :)
When they first started repairing and demolishing houses in Christchurch after the earthquakes they were not testing for asbestos. Someone eventually raised the issue and now after months of exposure of asbestos to builders and some residents who did not move out during repairs, testing is now done.
Abestos can be found in:
raised interior surfaces, such as artex ceilings and textured paint on walls and celings
Cement sheets found under the eaves soffits and the composition of walls
Lino, it's backing material and glue
Super Six roofing material may contain asbestos. Particles of the roof may be below the roof in the loft area and in the exterior surrounding area at ground level

On the photo you can see moment of free throw シ. It was basketball match between club Jazine Arbanasi from Zadar vs Škrljevo from Rijeka. Jazine Arbanasi won with score 95-74.
The name of Old hall of basketball is Jazine. We call it hram košarke (temple of basketball).
First team Zadar don't play it here anymore but club Jazine Arbanasi from Zadar play it here. I think this old basketball hall is legendary, in the past people smoke inside, they support Zadar every time, this hall is not big but it was always full, acoustic was great, people often kick metal walls to produce sound, basketball fans used torches, they used papers etc... This was old good times when Zadar was better club, when basketball was moe than money & business.
Today Zadar play at new huge & modern basketball hall but I think basketball fans are not "horny" as before, magic was lost. I will mention one accident... I think referee bring wrong decision in one situation long time ago... One older guy come and kick him a little luckilly not too strong. I believe many basketball clubs didn't like to play here because atmosphere was like in hell. This will never happened again. Jazine is old baskteball hall but it have soul, I hope that city will not destoyed it. City "steal" statue from Krešimir Ćosić legendary basketball player from Zadar. City took statue and bring it near new hall Dvorana Krešimira Ćosića (Višnjik). I think it would be better if they leave statue and make a new one. I think "old" Jazine should stay too.

This is probably my favorite sport song from Zadar
P.s. Message for Artex, in this basketball hall Zadar win against strong Russian club, I can't remember which one. Russian team won Russian cup so maybe they celebrate with vodka and didn't care too much about match with Zadar but it was long time ago so I can't remember correctly.
Our Beloved Garden
Many people associate Kanazawa city with its stunning Japanese garden, Kenroku-En. One of the three great gardens of Japan, guidebooks often list it as a must-see attraction.
The three Chinese characters that make up its name reveal the philosophy behind the garden.
The first character, “ken”, means to hold multiple functions. The middle one, “roku”, is the number six. The final character, “en”, signifies garden. All together the name literally means “a garden with six functions”. So what are these functions, and who decided them?
They are derived from a Chinese poem composed about the nineteen great gardens of China. Kenroku-En has six features in direct contradiction of each other.
The closest English equivalent to these pairings would be spaciousness and profoundness, artificialness and antiquity, water fountain landscapes and mountain panoramas.
This once-private garden for Lord Maeda officially opened to the public in 1872.
An entrance free was introduced in 1976, though residents of Ishikawa prefecture are exempt on weekends. It is also free to everyone during New Year’s and days designated for enjoying the beauty of nature, such as during the cherry blossom season and harvest moon.
Located in the heart of downtown, its not uncommon to see the residents of nearby homes walking or jogging around the premises. The garden is not only a popular destination for tourists, but a beloved park for the citizens as well.
