Morning All

Cool and dry here.

Got her paper, fed the cat.
Coffee being slurped.
Not sure I can do Gym today, I seem to have damaged my left shoulder in the tail-end of last week.
Cannot do a lateral raise of that arm without a lot of discomfort. I tried "working" it out, but it only got worse.

Have a great day everyone.

(Not before I do, grrrrrrrrr!!!)

You should get one, they're cheap enough, and in the 25k i've done in mine, roughly 0 things have gone wrong

Just routine maintenance,

Well apples off to be pressed! there was quite a long queue as it is the season, obvs.
Only 165 kilos so my estimate was a bit out, not that it matters as we will be able to drink the lot!

Did you ever really start?

Wimblowdriver · Sep 7, 2020

Mucked out the landy today, to a basic standard. And cleaned the glass (inside only) but didn't manage to completely clear the year old doggie snot off. Might have another go tomorrow.

It's a 'ard life.

Stanleysteamer · Sep 7, 2020

Went out at 6 p.m, by 7:30 the two of us had cleared the almond tree of this lot. Only three wine boxes full.

and turned them into this.

Only half the size of last year's crop.

Still should give us something to crunch or cook with in a years time!

Wifey is the gardener, I am just the help, but even the natives from round here cannot believe how fast stuff grows on our land.
We have had some failures but very few indeed. Planting stuff here is like Narnia, throw it on the ground and next thing you know it's up just so high you think "God we need a tree surgeon!"

Remember I said this? Well here is a pick of a cherry tomato plant that planted itself in our absence.
And this is in gravel over weed barrier, and good quality stuff too.

Taken after we'd picked all the ripe red ones!

And to give it context, this is where it decided to plant itself.

And yes the flower/bushy thing s have rather outgrown the square walled off bed a bit!!!

Tomato plant in the foreground, or foregravel, take your pick.
This flower bed is what happens when you have a underground spring right in the middle!

Our guests tend to get up before us and help themselves to British tea and so forth. Some of them have even been known to get tools out and get on with helpin! Not many though! Although most do offer!
My OAP pension kicks in next Feb just in time to help us pay for all the cr@p that will descend on us as we fight to still do our 180 days in Frogland! Lucky Me!

Keep looking at our walnuts too

there will be far more than we need but as the front garden is open the local old ladies always walk past and fill their pinnies.

We have just decanted of a little of the 2yr old cherry brandy to test

I have to say that its not fit for guest and will have to be kept away, We will struggle through it on our own

.

We sat outside tonight and there was a distinct lack of birds and the normal evening chirping, a few stragglers but nothing like normal, guess they have headed for warmer places. Warning sign to consider the hatches battoning

and all the supplies needing to be gathered.
