    stopped already, but at least it’s cooled slightly.

    Focus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.

    Even the potatoes I was having for supper started sweating 🙄 it's 25c and exhausting.

    Oh and I went for a drive on the hills and saw this left on a rock 😲

    Anyone know how I cook it? It looks like the round courgettes in the farm shop.

    Looks more like a squash than a courgette to me 2P; whichever it is it looks mature, based on dried up looking stalk. Usually good roasted (but you might not want to use oven in heat!), or in stew, or squash risotto, etc…

    Rain here had a further brief sprinkle or two, not enough to do much more than dampen soil surface; but at least plants weren't wilting in heat/sun… Nice to see your raindrops wort, and you have green (and coloured) things for them to rest on!

    My welly (and other) boot garden, manually tweaked a little:
