Today I managed to have a good chat with Callum. He was in a good mood, recognised me on Skype and waved both hello and good bye at the end. That is about as much as I can expect in terms of conversation, but otherwise he was in a good mood. The ukulele was a birthday present, so was the cow but due to the idiotic new system of taking snapshots on Skype I couldn't catch him in the cutest pose looking this way, rather than towards the TV. Still, he looks lovely and I was so pleased to see him as I have not had the chance to talk to him for weeks now.
This week, since we scarpered from the orienteering last Sunday was spent with mostly agricultural pursuits, but included some computer stuff (family history for Roy and transcription for me) as well as a certain amount of TV watching. It was not very eventful, that's for sure. Unfortunately, my strained or trapped muscle in my shoulder blade was improving very slowly, so we decided to give O a miss this weekend as well. Next weekend is a very important event, so I was resting it to get totally better. This tomato in the picture was one of many we harvested this week from the plant that Roy grew from seed. We received a lot of other tomatoes from a friend at the event last weekend, so combined them with peppers and made some more lecso. Some of our apples got ripe so we ate a few of those as well. The cefre barrels have been filled, in fact we have ended up with a surplus. Juci, my cleaner came up with about a half barrelful of plums, so no more scrounging around for plums! Hooraay!! Now we will need to stretch our food until Thursday or Friday, as we don't feel like shopping until then.
