It's spring here. I love the spring when the trees start to become light green of new leaves.



I'm just so happy that they have stopped dropping leaves all over the garden. But the corkscrew hazel is still dropping twigs everywhere. It saves on prunning I guess ...


But you should have pruned it back in the autumn. There's a big corkscrew hazel growing in my brother's garden, it was as big as a van, so he has pruned it to a nicer size. He cut off some very long branches and some twigs back in November, my boss got them all, she uses them for her Christmas decorations. And now it looks much more nice and healthy.

Oh, but I do prune it in the autumn. Quite severly last autumn since you couldn't walk under it without it pretending it was a weeping willow. But then mine is the size of a house, much bigger than a van, and I can't get to the higher parts to prune more. 10 years ago I tried to anchor it to the fence to stop it being like the leaning tower of Pissa. Now it would take any fence any direction with it.

Or maybe England's Red Rose in a blue dress




Ohhhh, I've just bought a box with the two dvd's, The Complete Elizabeth Collection, with Cate Blanchet as Elizabeth the 1'st. She was robbed, yes robbed, for that Oscar Gwyneth Paltrow got instead, she was much better as Elizabeth than Gwyneth was in that stupid Shakespeare in Love movie.

I've just watched both movies, I've seen them some times now, they are very good movies.

The Tudors will always be missed.

So, you like prunes in the autumn, eh? Find you can't walk afterwards and feel like a weeping willow, eh? Prunes the size of a house, eh?

I certainly don't go for prunes on my Pissa but a weeping willow would just about hit the spot.

The prunes aren't supposed to make you pissa. But they could make you weep.

Actually, it's usually Fosters that makes me pissa. Then I usually hug trees ;)

I went cycling by the water, Basingstoke Canal, only yesterday. In 1778 a Parliamentary Act was passed to allow a canal 44 miles long from Basingstoke to the River Wey. The outbreak of the War of American Independence caused a delay in raising the required capital required to start building the canal. Work finally started in 1788 and it should be finished anytime now.

Yeah, I posted on the boincstats forum about it... I knew it was a bad idea. I told Anshul that every time it is done, something goes wrong. Oh well... At least nobody got slighted, and nobody moved up or down in the project standings because everyone got the same amount. However, now the howling will start from the Kredit Kops... The 5000 for nothing will be first on the agenda. After that, I bet someone will be saying that 420 is "way too much credit". We might even get to see the claim that it's "ridiculous" or even "obscene"...

I still don't know if I got free credits or not. How can you tell? I haven't looked into Cosmo for a while and you could have added to my credits or taken some away - I wouldn't have noticed either way ;)

I don't know what the larger spike is all about, but yes, you did get 5000 from the script they just ran...

Oh cool, I can see that isloated 5000 in a day recently. They should surprise us like this more often. Maybe even a free bonus from MilkyWay for turning up? ;p

[edit] the larger spike was probably me being reckless and crunching somewhere else for a change ;)

The large spike is probably when they gave (some of) us back the amount that "disappeared" on Nov 30th when the HOSTS table got messed up and wasn't exporting everyone.

Perhaps. I just wish they'd stop doing stuff like that. The scripts have never worked as planned. I think I was shortchanged the last time, but this time I wasn't really "active" when the whole error on downloading happened. I decided to grab a few tasks after seeing the reports of high memory usage just to see what it would do on my system, so I sorta feel like I got a "freebie", but so did everyone, so I'm not going to feel guilty...

An ATI card here... free credit there... your stats keep climbing without you really doing anything. :P
