Hot Day

Today was hot; cicadas out in full force while we retreated to the cool gazebo to play backgammon.....The Cat retreated to the spare room bed which had a nice breeze due to me thoughtfully opening the sliding door for His benefit.... A nice day all 'round; cricket & tennis on the teevee, lots of shade & plenty or nothing to do. Had planned a morning of weeding but instead we enjoyed a nice long Skype with Bekki to catch up with her post-Xmas. Great to hear that Lee has now started his UK job.

Our little custard apple tree appears to have died or very nearly; may have to invest in another & try in a different spot.....so much to learn & so many things we want to try to grow. We had a lovely dinner from the garden; rocket, herbs, fresh tiny tomatoes, our last Reed avocadoes from the neighbours & some haloumi, the only non-local ingredient. Picked our last purple carrots & some of our beetroot to roast with some ricotta tomorrow.....how delicious!
