deliver me! deliver me!

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.

Hooray for your garden!
I heard about your new PM. Good luck.

Turns out new PM is from around here, and is pals with my MP, which is not a recommendation. Grump.

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 just stuck on her "We will deliver!" line, which would be a sight more convincing if the bloody Tories had managed to deliver anything good of late. I give them a modicum of credit for the vaccines, but most of that goes to the NHS anyway.

A cat with a monologue of sententious meows would be more engaging, definitely!

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

Only two more years....

[pensnest]

Ahaha, yes. The ones not good enough to claw their way into the front lines before....

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

They'll be marching on the house any day! Well, most of them seem to be going towards the far end of the garden, which is perhaps comforting.

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!

Yay for tomatoes and pumpkins! We're currently up to here in apples.
