I am to have elective surgery in the Spring. It's all a bit of a having to get my head around stuff.
My hens are showing their age but seem happy to be fed and watered and wander in the orchard. I shall have to get organised (or brave) and start up the incubator.
This week I've been cutting back a very wide privet hedge on the far end of my allotment. Not pretty but it's gained me over half a meter and means mum can get to the leaf storage basket without getting soaked. She likes collecting leaves
I have a very large perfectly formed green aubergine. I have it in the window but it will not ripen - any ideas? Like putting a banana in with green tomatoes? All the others ripened perfectly.
Gloom and doom weather here - low cloud, miserable and damp - dreich. If you can say dreich after your preferred temporary dental medicine Dave , you need to up the dose.
I have unripe peppers in the porch still on the plant - I doubt they'll ripen either - don't know what to suggest IMW.
Also had a tooth problem; filling came out just as we went into lockdown and then cracked. Fortunately no pain as I was unable to find a dentist afterwards who was prepared to do fillings rather than extractions. Don't know if it can be saved but want to try.
Have been harvesting late apples and getting them to foodbanks. But now the mice have found them. Going to move them when the rain stops.
I'm only just beginning to be able to eat anything other than slush after last extraction. We've got a couple of steaks in the freezer that I'm dying to eat, but suspect not up to them yet... Come Friday I will be back to slush again. Then a week later some reconstruction (? eek) needs doing. I live in hope will be able to possibly eat some chicken breast on Christmas Day, I won't be up to the pigs in blankets and bacon from covering the chicken breast or sausages or roast spuds. Oh well, we can always do the Christmas Dinner (which for us these last few years has only been roast chicken, but with all the trimmings) again a month later... Except that will be post Brexit so who knows what food we'll be able to get hold of then. Aaarrrggghhh!
Meantime the pak choi that OH planted in big flower pots on the side patio at home seem to be doing OK. And he's finished planting the onions at the lottie. Just have some shallots that are spring planting left to go.
Good luck with your tooth stuff next week Dave!
And please all of you send me some "positive vibes" at 2.00 pm on Friday!
