Growing in the sunshine

[dolorosa_12]

If you have commented on my letters post as of 5pm on Monday afternoon, UK time, I have written a letter for you and it will be in the mail tomorrow — things seem to take around a week to get from here to elsewhere in Europe, and longer if you live further afield. If you're interested in getting a recipe letter from me, you're still very welcome to request one on the post, where comments are screened. Anyone getting a letter in this batch is going to get a pretty odd array of stationery, as I'm down to weird odds and ends — things that I've been hanging onto for ages (in some case, decades), rather than any new stationery that I bought at the beginning of lockdown.

There's not very much to report at the moment. The weather is hot and makes me feel lazy, work is slow, and there are still no changes here from the current working-from-home lockdown conditions. My mother and sister in Australia have been able to swim laps for the first time in ages: outdoor pools are open again, with restrictions. I'm extremely envious, as are my aching shoulders and back.

I spent the weekend doing what I like best: cooking things, and growing things. Here's a photoset. As you can probably tell, I really like tomatoes.

I hope your days have had space for light, and growing things.

Tomato plants are just the best! You're so lucky to be able to get them all year around — mine only grow (and grow fruit) in the summer months.
