Decidedly cooler today although I haven't had to turn on the heat yet. We were well wrapped up for tennis this morning but I had stripped off two layers by the time I stopped. Our tennis days are drawing to a close as one club moves over to indoor tennis next week by erecting a "bubble" over the courts (I don't join as it is too expensive) and the other club closes down at the end of October. That will be it until next April, sadly.
The overnight temperature is set to be around 6C tonight so I have brought in all my indoor plants that have been summering outside. I checked them for bugs before bringing them in but inevitably will have missed a few! The plants themselves are all looking very healthy and seem to have benefitted from the extra light they get outdoors. They will likely die back a bit in the coming months but right now look very healthy. The fern has done especially well but the Hibiscus will need to be pruned as it has grown rather tall and spindly.
Off to warm up some leftovers for dinner. I made a big batch of rice and chicken stir-fry the other day so it will hit the spot.
Your dinner sounds lovely, especially as the days (and nights) get colder and darker. xx
ReplyDeleteYes, time for hearty food!
DeleteI brought my lemon trees indoors, yesterday. It was a good job I did, as we had a light frost this morning. Xx
ReplyDeleteYes, frost on the rooftops here, too.
DeleteTennis sounds like so much fun. Never got into that... too lazy. haha. But, I admire you for your energy, your way of looking at life and I admire you for being good with plants and fixing such good eatings. I figure if I compliment you enough you'll send me a 'care' package of rice and stir-fry. hehe.
ReplyDeleteCooking for one can get boring so I try to think up new recipes. I made up the stir fry from what was in the fridge and freezer.
