Clear-up #2 - Midweek

The pong, sorry the pond, which will eventually be the fulcrum of the self-sustaining ecosystem which we'll create. Looks promising, eh.

Unfortunately, someone subsequently took the executive decision to remove the football, which is a shame. I was thinking it would continue to play a crucial role. Ah well.

If anyone out there has seen a lovely French film called Une hirondelle a fait le printemps (literally "One Swallow has Made the Spring", but brilliantly translated for its UK release as "The Girl from Paris") you may well remember the scene where the old man's friend ties a bottle to one of the most promising looking blossoms on his pear tree, with the intention of making some kind of brandy. I haven't got the foggiest recollection of how he does it, but anyway I've got the notion in my head of doing something like that next year. And then the year after, I can repeat that simple but beautiful line - "Tiens, on va goƻter ma poire!"
