Ceviche de corvina al estilo Nikkei (se añade pisco, sake y salsa teriyaki al habitual aliño peruano “leche de tigre”). Pescado perfecto en frescura y sabor, acompañado de cebolla, calabaza y un poco de ensalada en un acidísimo aliño que era puro vicio. Junto a los cubiertos sirven unas cucharas de madera para quien quiera aprovechar los jugos del fondo; de no hacerlo no habríamos dudado en beber directamente del plato hasta no dejar ni gota. Un bocado excepcional.

Compared to digging, cutting the weeds on an overgrown plot with my scythe is a rewarding pleasure. As a quid pro quo for the specialist advice she gave Lin and I about turning the Central Handsworth Practical Care Project into a company limited by guarantee I scythed her plot, next to ours, this morning - hearing the noise of a chain saw on the railway embankment running beside the Victoria Jubilee Allotments. I'm was using my shortest blade and not using graceful long strokes swinging close to the earth because there was a good deal of debris (bricks, stones, old wood and plastic and metal pieces) hidden in the grass and weeds, plus I promised myself to leave Rachel some flowers standing after I'd finished.
Vanley came by as I worked
"Can you teach me how to use that?"
"Of course"
I attended a workshop on using a scythe 5 years ago - a day in April I took a train to Yeovil on Friday and cycled seven miles through Somerset countryside to the Fleur de Lis Pub in Stoke-sub-Hamdon, close to Tinker’s Bubble where, the next day, Simon Fairlie led a workshop, for six of us, on how to use a scythe (see scythe revival). I'd wanted to use it in the churchyard of St.Mary's, Handsworth, with an uneducated notion that we might circumvent the council's ground maintenance routines and turn the place into a meadow, by scything - instead of strimming - at times of our choice, clearing cuttings to avoid their over enrichment, nurturing a richer diversity of flowers. But I'd bitten off more than I could chew - the scale of the churchyard and the momentum of the city's grounds maintenance bureaucracy. Had I persisted I'm sure we'd have prevailed. I didn't. The next time I used the scythe was to help my daughter, Amy, and son-in-law, Guy, to recover the lawn of their new home on the east of the city. So I haven't been using it much. I had to fiddle with assembly; reminding myself of the proper way to sharpen the blade - something to be done nearly every five minutes when scything - let alone observe the method of thinning the soft iron cutting edge of the blade with a hammer so that its vital sharpness can be maintained - peening it with the jig I bought at the same time as I bought the scythe and two blades - Luxor for lawns, Rasierschnitt for rougher work with a protective tine at the tip. Bringing that kit back on the train Sunday evening, the blade well wrapped, I was joshed about being the grim reaper. I can't quite recall how I carried it back from New Street on my bicycle, but I suspect Terry Pratchett would have approved the image of a scyther on a Brompton folding bicycle. Now I carry just the handle across my handlebars, leaving the blade in my basket - well-wrapped.

You need a bag of clothes when you get off the bike. There was a slight pan to this shot. I'd wish I'd gotten more/better pan shots, but got a really nice one in 2000. Maybe I'll get one this year.

Here Mr. Sludden demonstrates the practical process behind the manufacture of a simple thermoplastic clock.
He starts by cuting out the template from stiff card. He then transfers the design onto the back of the acrylic that has had a layer of masking tape applied. A biro or black pencil can be used. It is important that the line is clearly visable.
Next he demonstrates cutting methods using the coping saw and fret or scroll saws. Note his position in relation to the workpiece in these examples.
Next, edge finishing techniques. Start by selecting the appropriate file. Flat, half-round or round are appropriate here. Begin by cross filing then use drew filing to complete this stage. Then choose coarse [180 grit] then fine [400 grit] silicon carbide or wet & dry abrasive papers to smooth the edges further. Complete by applying a metal[!] polish like Brasso or T-Cut to really polish the edge.
Next assembly. We used double sided tape here because the surfaces are not load bearing. In other designs we would recommend Acrylic Cement or sometimes Super Glue. These are fraught with difficulty and need careful masking for best results.
Next drill a 10mm hole to accomodate the clock mechanism. Use a step drill for best results. Clamp the workpiece to the drill table to avoid slippage.
Assemble clock mechanism using the array of components provided.
If necessary create a stand. Mr. Sludden demonstrates the use of the Strip Heater and Plastics Oven towards the end of this sequence. Attach to back of clock using cement. Mask first. Thermoplastic properties evident from photos provided.
around 7 a.m. before the flag ceremony, young kids are "required" to sweep the school yard with "walis-tingting." Walis-tingting is a broomstick made with the ribs of coconut leaves tied in a bundle.
This is the way things were when I was a kid. And apparently, it still is...

“Now, with these new gardens, times of flood can mean growth and life, not just loss," says Rina Begum. During the floods, when cultivating crops on land becomes impossible, "floating gardens" provide one opportunity to produce much-needed food. In this way, Rina and hundreds of other families across the Gaibanda district can survive. A raft is constructed, using aquatic weeds, on which vegetables can be grown and seedlings can be raised, ready to plant after the flood waters recede. At the end of the growing season, the raft is used as compost for land-based farming. This flood-friendly technology helps families to plan their futures without the fear of losing their livelihoods during the next monsoon.

I'm in another office, just about to go into a meeting and I get a text asking if I am going to be able to meet a friend in my normal offices canteen. I didn't have time to reply (to explain that I was about 95 miles away) so he just kept sending them...
I sat down for the meeting and I could feel my phone vibrating away; I knew other people could hear it as well (was on silent but with vibrate turned on) as they kept looking at me!
I got so many that the phone actually got warm to the touch :)
If you count the ones I'd read as I was walking into the meeting (another 11) I had over 200 identical SMS.
