INCPLA disowned

My blog has been banned by China. "so turns out china has now banned your blog too. i used to read it from my home, but now it's gonzo." I find that equal parts funny and disturbing.

Did some Chinese government worker read my blog and determine that it was unsuitable for the Chinese population? On what basis, I wonder? I don't think my blog is particularly critical of the Chinese government.

Let's hope that China doesn't become the next world superpower.

Anyway, starting to pave the gazebo site now. Will probably use the same interlock as the patio, because we have a surplus of it and because it's cheap.

I originally wanted to use stone slabs - natural limestone as can be found in the riverbeds that cross the bruce trail. Expensive stuff, unless you pull it out of the ravine yourself. I envisioned slabs of limestone with a mixture of sand and clay to fill the gaps - substrate ideal for moss. Still haven't decided on furniture. Go with patio set - round table & 4 chairs, or benches and side tables?

As for secondary projects, the trees we planted seem to be doing well. We'll have a few cherries this summer, and hopefully more next year. Need to start thinking about how to construct the swing. Probably will use bench seat and back (no legs) suspended on rope.
