Movember

Dear friends, family, colleagues, Mo-bros and Mo-sistas,
During the coming month of Movember (formally known as November), I shall be cultivating some facial topiary for your amusement/entertainment/derision, but ultimately to raise awareness and funds for the fight against prostate cancer.

Facebook... You're fired!

After Facebook *spit* broke my site for the third time, because of an unknown entity in a post from 10 days earlier (I really should check in more often), I decided enough was enough and pulled FB feeds from my site.

Shark Fin Melon soup

Play:

The other day I made Shark Fin Melon soup. No sharks were harmed in the preparation of this dish. The melon, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky... The melon was grown on our allotment.

Half a melon made more than enough soup for 4 people. I found it almost too sweet, although my girlfriend said she loved it (I'm not sure if she was just saying that so as not to hurt my feelings...).

The Good Life

Play:

We're not quite up to Tom & Barbara level yet. The only things we've had off the allotment so far are a few beetroot kindly donated by a neighbouring allotmenteer, and loads of blackberries, which are growing wild anyway. But yesterday we got our first, own-grown, crop!

The Reluctant Gardener

Play:

A couple of months ago, my other half signed up for a garden allotment. Well, guess who ends up doing most of the clearing, digging, and weeding, etc?..
