absinthea and blixa23 visited on the weekend
(Carrie was over for a conference), so I made up large chunks of my pub
deficit in the Dev on Friday evening. Amazing how much determined pubbing
one can get into a couple of hours. Also got a blaadyblah
liquored up and back to our den of iniquity.
redcountess and I sadly failed to make zoo_music_girl and ladymoonray's birthday do, and did we
miss out. Quiet night in on Saturday, arkady visiting for Sunday
and yesterday. We watched From Hell on DVD. The special features
are true shovelware. Film was pretty good, but. Tonight I go to arkady's to look pretty while she frantically packs.
I must say that Roundup is my idea of a gardening tool. It's causing a heartening case of slow death for the deadly nightshade and the laburnum. The latter turning out to be runners from the tree-sized laburnum next door - someone having failed to work out that their decorative shrub is in fact noxious and poisonous. DIE, YOU FUCK.
Here are some pictures of our garden,
including arkady in a silly hat with kitty
ears.
Don't forget the wedding, on Saturday July 12th. If you want to attend the ceremony, please email promptly. If you don't think you'll get up that early, be sure to come to the pub - proceedings starting just before 1pm. All are welcome. (That is to say, I expect you to show.) We have a gift list (not obligatory).
I could so do with about three months' holiday right about now.
And please send many bottles of Leffe - or any other Belgian blonde beer - for redcountess. After
months forced onto the wagon, she has found REAL BEER SHE CAN DRINK!

Date: 2003-07-01 12:49 pm (UTC)Roundup is glyphosate, right? Glyphosate is cuddly fun compared to paraquat and its ilk. I keep seeing phrases along the lines of "No long-term effects on human health have been observed" when I google, and I find specifically "While it does contain a phosphatyl functional group, it is not structually similar to organophosphate pesticides which contain organophosphate esters, and it does not significantly inhibit cholinesterase activity."
Greenpeace seem to think the surfactant in Roundup is more of a problem to non-plant life than the glyphosate itself.
