Gardening Blog

I’ve decided i’m going to take a picture from the same vantage point every month. The grass seed I spread a month ago is just about starting to become grass and the addition of some new steps up to the main garden I think works well. The plants in general don’t seem to be suffering too much from being moved around a couple of weeks ago, the Berberis on the left being the exception.

Examples of wildlife seem to be visiting regularly, Mr Squirrel i’ve discovered lives in one of the big trees a few gardens away. In addition there have been some bird visitors, the only problem i’ve discovered is the motion sensor on the CCTV camera can’t sense animals so small. So i’ll have to have a think about what to do about that. However from watching the NatureCAM channel on tv I can report at least one Great Tit has been nibbling on my fat balls – they’re full of energy apparently!

Beer Taxi

For me, the end of many a good night out. I was early for the train on wednesday which didn’t bother me too much because I do like looking at the wooden vaulted ceilings at the station. I’ll have to do a proper Manchester Architecture post about it… there isn’t too much timber architecture around.

Downtime

Thanks for the messages of “your website is broke!”, my hosting company upgraded the server to mySQL 4, with FastCGI PHP4 and PHP5 as well yesterday afternoon. No idea what on earth that is, but there you go. Not sure of the problem either but it only took half an hour to sort it out once the hosts were made aware of the fault. They’re very efficient!
