Pump up the jam

or at least I'm trying to. My first jam ever, from my first grapes. I guess I'll see tomorrow if I managed to do it. (I am following a recipe, but it does seem bit weird.

Trimmed the dog today. Glad that's done now.

Did a lot of yard work with the autumn getting closer. It's been a full on summer for the last 2 weeks at least and today was no different. 24°C. And above 20°C temps for most of next week still with some rainy days in the mix.

Collected HUGE cucumbers today. Had not seen them before, so I preserved them in vinegar. I have so many fresh ones in the fridge and these 3 huge equaled about 8 or 10 regular ones. And they still tasted good!



We did go out to eat, which was nice. Saved some time and even with that I did not get to the bottom of my chores list. Still so much to do.



I'm still very tired. I've taken it easy today. Even with all this done, I've been taking it slower than usual. The moving week really took its toll on me. My Morton is getting better with the rest and it's not aching all the time anymore. But clearly I need to be careful with it.



Now back to the jam...
