quietly breathing: Excellent ideas for cycle geeks
http://quietlybreathing.blogspot.com/2008/06/excellent-ideas-for-cycle-geeks.html
Monday, June 02, 2008. Excellent ideas for cycle geeks. What a great idea - a planter. You can stick in your front garden and lock your bike to. My front hall is so grubby from bike grime and difficult to negotiate because of the bike. And it combines my two of my favourite things - plants and bikes. Meanwhile in Stockholm I came across this lovely basket. Also, what about green chain oil. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Cider with Penny: Weingut, ciderbesser

October 16, 2007. Edited highlights of Aachen for more read the full version on my other blog. And so, would I recommend Germany to other cider-loving vegetarians? Half-way through the tankard, it occurred to me that a) Viez is. Stronger than ordinary cider and b) I was sufficiently tipsy to fancy a. Trip to a nearby rock festival. Three Viez, five euros and ten minutes. Later I arrived at Rock Total, which can only be described as the. Sticky tables, beer-soaked grass and everso cheery Germans Ja,.

quietly breathing: Biofuels: It seemed like a good idea at the time
http://quietlybreathing.blogspot.com/2008/07/biofuels-it-seemed-like-good-idea-at.html
Monday, July 07, 2008. Biofuels: It seemed like a good idea at the time. I’m sad about biofuels. It just sounded like such a great idea didn’t it? We don’t need to dig oil out of the ground, let’s grow it instead! Plants could be a renewable source of energy, hooray! I also got excited at university about the prospect of freakish plastic-producing GM crops – fields growing yoghurt pot ingredients instead of big horrible polluting factories.). But the flaws with biofuels are becoming too big to ignore.

quietly breathing: Greening Sainsbury's
http://quietlybreathing.blogspot.com/2008/06/greening-sainsburys.html
Wednesday, June 18, 2008. Sainsbury’s "take an old bag shopping" campaign has already been criticised for being sexist and oldist. Now it seems it is just a sop to green sentiment. Going to the supermarket this evening I noticed I’d been awarded an extra point on Sainsbury’s Nectar loyalty award scheme because I reused a plastic bag. But does Sainsbury’s honestly think this is an incentive? A quick look at what Nectar points will earn you. Shows that small fines can also work. View my complete profile.

quietly breathing: May 2007
http://quietlybreathing.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 09, 2007. Good angel cyclists (letter to Time Out). I’m sure Michael Hodge’s Slice of Life last week (Time Out 1915) was calculated to get hundreds of letters from irate cyclists, but I’m going to ignore that fact and write anyway. I think his column misses the point. Every day I see the vast majority of my cycling colleagues flouting the rules of the road, often creating dangerous situations because of their carelessness. Links to this post. Friday, May 04, 2007. I won't even go into "tun...

quietly breathing: January 2008
http://quietlybreathing.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 27, 2008. Not saving the world, saving myself. That makes an environmental way of life seem attractive. It allows Brown to fiddle around with the idea of banning supermarkets from handing out plastic bags, despite the very small impact this would have on the UK's carbon footprint. (Although it would be a powerful symbolic signal.) The Environment Agency last year asked a panel of experts to give the top 50 things. Marshall is great on the language of climate change - a powerful psychologi...

quietly breathing: April 2007
http://quietlybreathing.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2007. Did I wrong Stephen Isserlis? Listening to Classic FM while working at home today, a Bach cello piece was played. It would normally have been delightful, but now filled me with a sense of shame. It was played by Stephen Isserlis, who I saw perform at a concert more than 15 years ago. I was learning to play the cello and my music teacher had secured front row tickets for me and my family in the (er) renowned Dorking Halls. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

quietly breathing: 42 days - to my MP
http://quietlybreathing.blogspot.com/2008/06/42-days-to-my-mp.html
Wednesday, June 11, 2008. 42 days - to my MP. Dear Martin Linton MP,. Today is the day of the crucial vote on extending the limit that terrorist suspects can be held without charge to 42 days. I am making last-minute appeal to you not to vote with the Government, because I think this move would mark a further deterioration of the civil liberties of everyone in this country. I agree with Liberty that an extension of the period that suspects can be held without charge from the current period of 28 days wil...
