More parcels. More London School Attendance Medals. More rain.
I have moved on, from the London School Board to London County Council. Edward VII has given way to George V. The medals have become smaller and hang from colourful ribbons. But the tedium remains the same.
Fortunately the World of WordPress beckons and everything seems so much better when I am at home. Tonight I am going to catch up on some WordPress Reading. I’ve been lazy recently and need to get round and see what people are doing.
Goldfinch Concert in Sherwood
Three Hours Later…
We’ve eaten (Vegeburgers, jacket potato and roasted aubergines, onions, courgettes and tomatoes – all from the garden). We’ve chatted. Julia has had several texts from work – they have a fixation about texting on Fridays. She has made some pithy comments. We spoke to her brother, who rang for a chat. Finally I made it back to the computer and realised I hadn’t done any reading.
The aubergines, or eggplants as the Americans say, are a miniature variety and the first real success we’ve had with them as our seasons are a little short and unsunny for them.
I have caught up with Laurie in Maine and Whippet Wisdom in Scotland but the rest of you, I’m afraid, have been neglected yet again. I will do better!
I have to go now as we are in negotiations about who makes the next cup of tea and I need all my wits about me.
Main picture is a pigeon from the park. The others are the Goldfinch that sang for us earlier in the week.
Not where you’s expect to see a songbird in full song…
Love that pigeon photo, I have a lovely miniature eggplant that is also just beautiful to look at as it grows, first a pretty purple flower than a dainty stripped purple and white fruit, bonus that you can then eat it.
Miniature eggplants – I will have to look into this variety. Perhaps they ripen sooner!
That is a great pigeon portrait, Quercus.
Thank you. Yes, they developed a squash variety a few years ago that ripens faster for the UK’s shorter growing season. I’ll ask Julia if she can remember the variety of aubergine.
Yes, we would be interested in that for sure. Thanks!
They were free on the front of a magazine, but she has forgotten the variety. Sorry about that.
Great to see you again Simon! :o)
Splendid pigeon pic – impressive garden produce
Thank you Derrick. The garden produce is down to Julia’s efforts.
Ha! I thought you’d end up making the tea! Your evening meal sounds delicious!
I’m gradually adjusting to a less meaty diet. It’s healthier, better for the planet and, let’s be honest, cheaper. I like cheap. 🙂
🙂
I hope that you enjoyed making the tea.
It was under protest. I will be avenged…
