Barbecue

With Mr B back, the carnivore portion of our diet is back on track.

Hot day, after a rubbish sleep. Garden all day today, as Mr B nominated himself in charge of foraging for the day. Although I tried to only garden in the shade, that didn't work out so well. So a day of many showers! But some of the jungle is tamed. CarbBoy's first holiday job will be sawing down the genuine forest that his sprung up while my back was turned tending tomatoes.

Speaking of which, the tomatoes were duly de-gourmanded today (don't know what that is in English) and propped up a bit. Weeding, watering, planting out and a bit of admiring plants that have appeared in odd places (a bunch of gladioli and some random coriander and tomatoes - like I don't have enough already.)

It being the end of term, there was the inevitable truffle making session (praline, white honey and lavender and dark raspberry).

Later, a barbecue with much chat about music (TallGirl was not happy about my sending my Spotify choices to her device, so I've ceded ownership of the account and got myself a new one), rich children (we failed in our attempt to convince the kids that we are in fact massively famous and moved here just to protect them from our fame), and much other nonsense.

Tonight felt like the start of the summer. (I'm ignoring the black clouds that have arrived, since I know they bring a cooler gardening day tomorrow.)
