Good morning.
Overcast and we've obviously had some rain. Expecting another hot day though.
Same here with bottling done "back in the day" when my family were young. It was good to be able to preserve surplus or free produce. I have vivid memories of my own mum preserving fruit in mass quantities ... jars and jars of preserves. We kids used to enjoy getting the last out of the peach stones as they were discarded. These days we just eat fresh seasonal fruit.
Speaking of fruit, I discovered I've been sacrificing my blueberries to a very large blackbird ... wondered why the large crop was no longer
It has found its way in (and out) a V in the netting where it goes around feijoa trees. Hopefully I can salvage the rest now it's blocked off. I need a guard cat!
No particular plan today.
Have a good Waitangi Day.
