Then it all went downhill from there 🙁 I felt so awful in the afternoon. Second reading is before lunch again, third is after.

All from the Garnet vines (they often do stay a little green at the top). Lovely to have with lunch, especially in the warm weather. May there be many more.

Not far off 200 first thing 🙁 And then a drop all the way down to the 120s in a matter of hours — the second reading is pre-lunch and the third post-lunch. This is really quite punishing. At these levels, for now at least, I am completely useless.



This pepper is looking so nice. Can’t wait for it to change colour. I don’t actually know what colour it is going to be. It’s either a red or a yellow Corno di Toro, but I carelessly dropped one batch of seeds into the other when I was saving them last year so it’s anyone’s guess 😀

Also in the polytunnel, the tomatoes are now starting to colour up en masse. Can’t wait for these to be ready to eat so we can stop buying ones that are nowhere near as nice from the supermarket.

And out in the main plot, I think this is a spaghetti squash starting to form (yes, another seed mix-up, though for different reasons 😀

Another difficult day with an afternoon reading of 136 again. At least the morning readings seem to have stabilised below 200, though I suspect the GP is still not going to be happy with one that high.


(Ok, so I lied in the title. It was actually three. I’d just misplaced the last image…)

Chonky Chayennes 🙂 and Hungarian Blacks that actually look ready to pick.


Morning, afternoon and evening. A systolic reading of 136 is hard for me to cope with. I spent most of the afternoon lying down or asleep 🙁



Not sure because I can’t see the source of the smoke, but it looks an awful lot like it could be a field fire. I do know of one idiot who has started a bonfire in the last few weeks, but I’m hoping most sane people would see sense.

Worrying that not having seen one in twenty plus years, I’ve seen two from my home in the last year or so.
Not seen this one before and I’ve no idea what it is. I’m intrigued. The colouring makes me think of a coastal plant.

All falls apart with the evening reading 🙁
