Allotments and auroras

Cheers to Rich R for two brilliant photographs from his locality up in the lake district. The first is the night sky from his front garden when he went outside to see the meteor shower but caught this beautiful aurora borealis instead!

And the above is the view from his allotment. Best view from an alllotment ever, you reckon? Cheers for the pics Rich!

 

And the boss don’t mind sometimes if you act the fool

Early this morning we walked past the Brockley Best Hand Car Wash and saw a chap (the owner of said car wash) watering his prize tomatoes, corn and aubergines with a hosepipe on the bit of land on the corner. What was mad was when we were walking past 20 minutes later he was still there happily watering away.

We spoke to the chap who was a lovely bloke and he said “Everyone can have a patch like mine, isn’t yours like this?” pointing to the vegetable bed. I think the Weeds garden would be like that if we watered it with the same amount he used on them but we’re too afraid of Thames Water. Talking of which, we’d hate to see his water bill!

Much more music…

News just in! There’s a new EP release from Jasmine & Madtone and it’s up on Bandcamp here featuring the two tracks that were on The Rhythm Doctor’s excellent mix on Gilles Peterson’s Breakfast show on Worldwide FM. Expect more new music from Jasmine & Madtone soon!
