3l Fig Chutney

Three hours to make the chutney - a lot of reduction required.

Then later collected leaf mold and harvested sunflowers. Extra.

Imagine the thrill in the sticky humid heat when I found on the internet a hand- crank sunflower press for making small amounts of oil (see piteba nl).

Wouldn’t that be good winter exercise and our own cold pressed oil. Given the olives failed to form.

Thunder forecast for the night. Don’t much like it in the dark on my lonesome. Still 20C at past midnight.

This endless summer knows not when to disdain her long oer-stayed lease. Be gone now, give way to autumn’s gifts of rain.
