Oh, and I've picked the first tomatoes of this year's crop - four Tumbling Toms, one Bloody Butcher and one Christmas Grape.

The cats have been fed, and soon it will be time to feed me.

Oh, and I've picked the first tomatoes of this year's crop - four Tumbling Toms, one Bloody Butcher and one Christmas Grape.

We came back from holiday to discover that all our tomatoes looked like they had died. Offering up prayers to Saint Greta, we watered them with some recycled bath water. Time will tell but I fear they are all brown bread.

Poo... Fingers crossed for you.

I'm having to water mine every day - about 2/3 of a gallon per plant. They really didn't like it when it was so hot just over a fortnight ago. Any leaf that hit the concrete went crispy.

I'll have vanilla ice cream with mine.

Sadly we've not found a way for ice cream and a teenage child to co-exist under the same roof for more than 30 minutes. Double cream? Though she's done a good job on that too.

Ooops, I may have sat a bit too long in the sun while watching the conclusion of the road race and the hockey, because I've managed to toast my cleavage. Ow.

Ouch. You'd think we'd all learn by the time we leave our teenage years, but no. Hope it heals soon and that the diving was a suitable distraction.

The field at the end of my garden is full of very baked beans.

Last tidying up: I've passed "Organise everything and pack it into categories", and "If there's a gap, push something in it", Now I'm at the "Chuck it in the nearest box and forget about it." stage.

When do you actually move, and are you acting as your own removal service?

Lovely supper of scrambled eggs with parsley & chives, a toasted bagel, some Polish vegetable salad and tomatoes from the garden. Oh, and a of course.

Those Bloody Butcher (Rote Mezger) tomatoes are just divine - they're not big for a salad tomato, but boy do they pack one heck of a flavour punch in that small space. I will definitely grow them again.

I had a hose system rigged up with a timer which worked ok for once we were away for a month. The weeds loved it as well unfortunately.

I slapped on some water-based moisturizer on as soon as possible, and most of the stinging has now subsided. Normally, I'm so good at putting the factor 50 on, but I thought ok, it's late afternoon, I'll be ok... Serves me right for wearing such a low-cut top.

Yep, I enjoyed the view when it came to the diving

In the jet-lagged hours since our return yesterday, I've been devising all kinds of mad grey water irrigation systems.

That's the only breakaways that I'm good at !

Prefer the chocolate biscuit's myself.
