Union Flag
On the BBC Olympics broadcast I've been very much enjoying
the cycling. Not simply because we're winning them all, but
it's somthing I think I could do quite well at (no way near
this standard of course). I've particulary enjoye the sprint
races, they're so tence with cunning tactics and sudden finishes.
One of the odd things is the commentators refering to
the `Union Flag'. I thought it was called the Union Jack? My
housemate Christian suggest that it's sexist to refer to it as
that beacuse there's no Union Jill. I like that.

Glorious England
I've been back just under a week now after my travels through
Seoul and South Korea. The day we arrived home it was raining,
in fact it was hailing as we landed, but a couple of the days
have been simply glorious. Today, Sunday, was one of them. While
not as warm as Thursday or Friday, the brightness and clean fresh
air was filling my with some of the uplifting joys of Britain.
Today it's been great to get out into the garden and harvest some
of the seed heads that have been ripening while I've been away.
I've gathered quite a stash of Sweet William seeds that I can sow
next year. My vegetable patch is looking good too. The peas are
mostly over, but the beans are coming thick and fast. There are a
number of new spinach plants springing up and my sweetcorn are
brilliant. I've only got six shoots, but some have a couple of
cobs beggining to emerge - I've grown sweetcorn!
Sadly my squashes are not doing so fantastically. There are a
few flowers, but not that many, and certainly no fruits emerging
yet. I'm taking solace in hearing that other people are
experienceing the same thing, perhaps it's just too early yet.
But we've got some nice caugettes coming along, so I'm still
hopeful, just need some proper warm sunny days to give them a
lift.
So while there's always that end of the holiday blues, it
feels really good to be back and I feel much more positive about
Britain and Southampton in general.

Bangers and Mash
This evening, with the help of Suyeon, I cooked perhaps one of
my finest achievements - bangers and mash. "How strange" you might
think, bangers and mash must be one of the simplest meals to make:
boil then smash potatoes, and stick in sasagges. Well yes, it is
simple, but, you see, the trick is that it's English food. I'm
just not good at English food and so any time I make something
that remotely resembles a Sunday lunch I get overly impressed
by my skills. This particular meal used Tesco veggie saugges,
a sweet onion topping, runner beans from the garden (boiled) and
spinach with cream and nutmeg (also from the garden). Splendid.
