Reaping the Harvest

    Terrible cards at Bridge today - I only played one hand and didn't make the contract. It was a ridiculous 5 clubs and I have no idea how we reached that! The other team won two rubbers and were leading in the third when we decided to stop.

   I walked over to the Senior's centre for Bridge and was lucky that it didn't rain coming or going as it was pelting down at one point while we were playing. Good for the garden, though! Things are winding down out there and I have started clearing the beds that are past their best. Some of the perennials are putting on a glorious show, especially the sedum. I will leave it to over winter as it makes an interesting display among the drifts of snow. 

   Still picking tomatoes but the cucumbers, rhubarb and zucchini are done. I made a small jar of rhubarb relish to finish off the last few stalks so that will be a lovely reminder of summer on my meals later in the year.

A Rainy Day

 Have to create a new post in order to get signed in, for some reason. Anybody else experienced that?

    It has rained off and on all day which has been good for the grass and vegetable beds. I didn't try to go to tennis as I was sure the courts would be wet. I had lots of errands to run so filled the day easily. And there was tennis to watch. Jack Draper put up a good fight against numero uno Yannick Sinner. The final on Sunday should be a good match.

   A nice piece of salmon for dinner and I plan to have it with a side of quinoa so better get cracking!
