So, we have a new Prime Minister, though from her speech yesterday I'm not entirely sure whether she thinks she is supposed to run the country or Royal Mail. I suppose she probably won't be *quite* as embarrassing as Boris.

It rained! 3mm overnight! \o/

The tomatoes are ripening at a splendid rate. I culled a mixing bowl-ful two days ago, and we got through perhaps a third of it as tomato salad accompanying yesterday's (not-Nutella) pizza. I suspect soups and sauces lie in the very near future.

Also, pumpkin somethings. I have a fully orange one, a mostly orange one, a green-going-orange one, and two more green ones still in the burgeoning stage. And the third of the pumpkin plants seems to have just woken up and decided to do something, so there may yet be more.

Pumpkin curry first, I think.

I just watched Liz Truss' first speech outside Downing Street and am amazed at all the things she's going to apparently fix within weeks. Though should start with learning to be an engaging speaker, Larry the cat could deliver a better speech.

I'm looking at the new cabinet and the first thing that springs to mind is 'leftovers'!

Only two more years....

Yay for rain, and for tomatoes and pumpkins! Though there is a somewhat ominous ring to the announcement that the pumpkin plants have awoken...

I imagine it must be quite difficult to be more embarrasing than him but you never know!

Hooray for rain!

So good to hear your veggies are so productive!
