What number do I phone?

DD was off yesterday and as well as riding and dog walking she went blackberrying (not far, our hedgerow). They are now in the freezer awaiting apples ripening to be turned into pies and crumble.

Bit early for blackberries I'd have thought. Still it gets a nom from me anyway.

We don't really get blackberries here but do get mulberries which are almost as good.

I applied for 3 internal vacancies today, 2 of them are grade promotions and all three are probably actually promotions.

I didn't mention it before as it wasn't news-worthy, but last Sunday when I was walking back, I spotted some blackberries in next door's hedgerow - and scoffed one.

Good luck with those!

We've had an exceptionally hot summer this year, and the blackberries are about 1 month early.

Mulberries ALMOST as good? King of berries, surely. We often try to go to where late mil is sprinkled this time of year to get some ( sorry, commemorate her b'day) but passing this year.

Why do you need to dry knickers on it?

Well, knickers, bras anything underwear ish that I have hand washed can go on a towel rail near or above a rad. Its easier to hand wash that sort of stuff as you peel it off I think. Though I do have a hand wash setting on washing machine I use now more readily.

Well I've never had a British mullberry nor an Australian blackberry so I cant really say.

A French mulberry?

I'm thinking about this.

The word is the same, no? ' Mure.' ( I think, this language is pretty much lost to me, but when I think I get the same word for both...doesn't mean I'm right on either score though!)

I've never had either in France: muls in Aus and b berries in England only.

You can scavenge for b berries here, I just haven't yet. Generally it's inadvisable to stick bits of body into bushes in Aus!
