My beans are also ready for new homes, I dropped a plant care package off to a friend yesterday. Salvia cuttings with lots of new growth, bean seedlings and a little trough of coloured lettuces - they are such fun to have ready for a leaf or two when salad days are truly here. That leaves me with twelve seedlings, maybe eight for me and a pot to give away.
I had leftover chicken in a salad last night, with nasturtium leaves and flowers, red silverbeet, italian parsley, mint, and new zealand spinach, all fine chopped and tossed together with tiny tomatoes, grapes, cornichons, and avocado. What a combination! And so pretty in the big blue and white bowl. Leftovers for lunch today, well chilled and marinated and waiting in one of my lovely new Kitchenaid lidded glass containers. The last of my stickers swapped for two more of the little ones - they are very useful, I have been able to add a bunch of less attractive plastic versions to the recycling bin. I really enjoyed that promotion from New World, not just for the containers. A couple of friends saved their stickers for me and it was fun comparing the sheets they handed over, with the ones I was filling it. For the life of me I cannot peel and stick those tiny things neatly into place, edges lined up and fitting squarely in the designated space. So my sheet looks like a dogs breakfast, as my father would say. But, my friend Su, hers is perfect. So, we are sitting at the cafe table and she hands over her neat sheet, I pull out my messy one, and our third companion offers a collection of stickers. Su looks at me and says - no, I cannot watch you do this... So I hand both sheets back to her and she fills in the gaps, neatly and tidily.
I cannot help but grin. And the older gentleman at the next table, who has been enjoying our madness smothers quiet amusement.
I do love my Wednesday witches.
Experts - usually boys of a certain age - marinate their conkers in secret sauce recipes, to harden them and make them as immune as possible to smashing. Then, they perfect their aim, so their opponents knuckles bear the scars of a good conker match...
Can you tell I had a Scottish father?

They had a story on breakfast about Conker's Competitions and perhaps a cheater... We used to play with Conker's.. There were trees in Thames at the North end of town that had huge Monkey Nut Conker's on them. I had no idea there were official competitions in England. The winner there has been accused of using a Metal one.
Have an awesome day everyone
