Equinoxic meanderings

Hey folks, Autumn equinox this weekend! And, no, it is not always on the 21st. Summer is over, a sunny evening is seen as a bonus and a blessing. A few things have popped above my horizon:

• Monday last I mentioned having met Bruce Darrell, organic gardener and experimentalist.
• Here he is quantifying the benefits of sowing a green manure.
• Biochar thoughts. Me, I use the ash-sifted charcoal from the wood-stove.
• Clearing a really rrrrough part of the site to bring it into production. Bruce treated it as a Javi Problem: make a plan, start at one end and keep going.
• Lactofermenting surplus veggies. I've just put up 3 coffee jars full of fermenting green beans.
• Only Us by Thrice. Peculiar video story. Reminds me of Mumford & Sons [prev].
• Doc on One (RTE) Death: Don't Leave It To The Last Minute
• Five things you know about grief that are prolly wrong.
• Alexander Skarsgård
• D'ye know Danny Macaskill? You do!
• His Austrian oppo is Fabio Wibmer
• Drogheda stomp. Irish tap.
• Y'know, a snakebite won't kill you . . . unless you're allergic to cider. Jimmy Carr
• Upbeat:
• Pata Pata by The Muses. More? . . . Perfect.
• The Tide is High - Dano's Island Sounds
• What a Wonderful World - Playing For Change
• Gortaz a Ran - Breton song with Enya undertones
• The weight - playing for change.
