The telly and phone are here. Sitting unopened in their respective boxes. Turns out the telco didn’t upgrade my existing mobile account - they created another one! So now I’m waiting for the paperwork to arrive before I call them and see if they will consolidate the accounts. I only want one. How hard can it be?

Friday’s event is done and dusted. It went very well. And if the Big Boss asks about work not done, I’ll quote a colleague who reminded me that the time wasn’t wasted because I was “building social capital.” For the record, I didn’t go into work on Saturday. I slept in and it was great!

“Exposure to tertiary education” = Working on a campus coffee cart? Regularly being woken up by debouched students on the way home from the union bar? Flashers with degrees?

Yes, have seen it too. I think it is weekends only. Obviously a lack of logic somewhere. Probably one for Column 8 too. :)

Green onions, Allium fistulosum are also called spring onions, salad onions, bunching onions and scallions, especially in Britain. Welsh Onions are a cultivar (breed) within the species. They are smaller than leeks. In Australia, perhaps especially in Sydney, they are called shallots. Here real shallots (French grey challot or griselle) are Allium oschaninii, called "eschallotts". They have heads composed of multiple cloves, similar to garlic. The have brown grey or rose skin, and white flesh often with green or pink tinges. The white skinned Persian shallot is Allium hirtifolium Boiss have 1 or occasionally 2 bulbs per plant.
