And I am disoriented once again. I must be getting older…
Actually woke refreshed and raring to go.. which was unusual, and probably indicative that I mostly don’t get enough sleep – an extra hour went down well. But of course all things outside went on at the normal times, and the animals looked askance at our late arrivals..
A mixed bag of a day. We did some digging, stripped the tomatoes out of the greenhouse – blight was finally getting a firm grip – but it has been an excellent crop this year, we still have boxes of tomatoes to use and lots and lots of roasted tomato sauce in the freezer. We got the last of the bean poles down, moved the sheep, processed yet more apples.
Now I’m tired – but my body and the daylight tell me its later really. So a roast dinner, and a tart tatin for pud (well we have to do something with these apples!) and some fibre processing in front of the fire.
Apples – don’t mention apples – two friends have given me a large amount of them and I really don’t want to waste them. I don’t know if they’ll store or even if I could find somewhere mouse-proof; freezer space is rather short and with the chooks still on strike baking isn’t possible at the moment. I did however see the juicer when I was in the loft so that could be an option, along with crumble, pie, stewed for breakfast, added to savoury dishes etc etc.
apples! oops.. I mentioned it!
And again
