Another article in The Guardian on the effects of planting trees on climate change.
How trees might not be green in carbon offsetting debate
This follows my previous post, citing the same scientists on the issue:
Tree planting no help against climate change!
As the saying goes: 'Money makes the world go round!' Carbon offsetting has become a million-pound industry with estimates predicting a value of £300 million by 2010. But this is just an example of 'a dangerous delaying technique that helped people "sleep well at night when we shouldn't sleep well at night"'.

Silent room
Baanisuu's granddad has passed away,
Forever he will be remembered.
I hardly knew him but yet I cried.
79 his years of life on Earth;
12 children he and his wife grew, lived and fed.
His memories are still fresh,
His void is much felt,
His name has been mentioned over and over again.
He's gone and won't be back,
But so will all of us one day!
So let's remember him
for what he was and for what he did.
As for the rest:
Zeppi, Rest in Peace

Culinary pleasures: What a night out at Bouzouki!
A great night out was experienced yesterday evening, in the company of Baanisuu. My date took me to dinner, in an unknown location to me. The venue? Bouzouki! A fine Greek restaurant with excellent food, atmosphere, setting and view of St. Julian's Bay.
We ate loads, having a starter of grilled feta cheese and mixed dips, a main course of chicken with spices and meatballs (not quite balls, more looked like sauseges) and some desert consisting of honey, walnuts, cinnamon and pastry.
Judgement: Plain and simply - EXCELLENT.
Added to the food we had a local red wine which was the a perfect accompaniment.
Another feature that I really enjoyed was the relaxed atmosphere where one is given ample time to digest the starter, talk, listen to what other tables nearby are talking about, and make room for the next course. The friendly staff is an added bonus to the whole experience.
Plus, this morning the restaurant was advertised on a local radio station, fuelling my appetite again.
I recommend it to anybody looking for good food and a great experience.
I am giving a 4/5 on food selection since only one desert was mentioned, and another heading indicating to ask for other specialities. I think providing just one desert option merits a loss of full marks in this category.

Symmetrical number?
I just came to realise of the numerical significance of this day. Actually I realised late last night, past midnight when escorting Baanisuu back home.
27 - 03 - 2007
Somewhat symmetrical, just like my name...beginning and ending with the same letters.
Feeling?
A day older!

Last day of my life
Today is the 26th of March 2007. It is Monday, the first day of the week. The weather outside is overcast and slightly cool.
Some may say that today is a sad day, others that is should be a happy day while even others tell you that it is just a day. Maybe it is, but just to add a little spice in our lives, today marks the last day of my twenty-third year of life on Planet Earth. Technically speaking I have been around for more than that (considering that anti-abortionists say that life begins at conception, and in that state, I have my own values and rights (such as kicking my mum in the belly whenever I feel like it)), but anyway, let us stick to conventions.
Oh well, it is over, another year gone by.
Next one please...yes you!
What's your name? Yes you!
