Sounds delicious. Apparently, you shouldn't throw the walnuts away, you make nocino wine with them. https://yourguardianchef.com/a-homemade-italian-liquor-nocino/

​

Why would anyone throw walnuts away especially after having just gone to the trouble of picking them And you don't make wine with them you end up with a liqueur .

Possible tropical cyclone heading our way for the end of this week.

This weekend is a long holiday weekend so the weather's knocked any cycling on the head.

Heavy rain as forecast and 10C outside when I got up. Not much wind yet but Calmac are putting out warnings and my neighbour has taken his flagpole down which he does if gales forecast.
I have long had a theory unbacked by any scientific data that the seasons are moving and therefore summer is later than in the past as well as less cold weather lasting well into December.
Having said that I remember one June in the mid 1950s when we were thinning turnips and I was wearing an old ex army greatcoat and gloves. It was so cold that the casual labour we usually got for this job refused to come out to work so three of us had to do 20 acres ourselves.

I've been wondering if the seasons are moving for a long time.

Well, here in HK we're getting the kind of temps that we would only normally get in August.

God knows what August will be like.

Japan's getting quite the scorcher as well. 40c in Tokyo this week and their electricity grid is struggling.

I thought you made the wine with them after you've made the liqueur.

I've been to get my photograph taken for my driving licence renewal. Why are they always so unflattering?

I had got wet on my morning walk this morning so wore a rain coat when walking to the driving licence centre and with walking pretty briskly and the fact that it is actually very hot and humid caused a boil in the bag effect so I am soaked in sweat instead of rain!

I report my positive COVID test this morning and now I've had the Police helicopter over my house for the past 10 minutes.

What am I supposed to have done  this time?

Morning .
I'm having a rest . I'm shattered! Just been doing a bit of undecorating . Shifted a book case and attacked the wallpaper with a wet sponge .
Almost got stuck to the wall . Orrible stuff wallpaper ! Found a long cracking the wall which will need filling.
My wife is taking over the painting , putting on a second coat .
About to take my blood pressure to see if I have any !

 

[DCLane]

The Police helicopter is STILL above my house. It's not as if there's that much near me . They could have landed in the front garden, had Covid-distanced coffee and cake, then taken off again by now.

My ears hurt from the noise.
