Three Playdates
Sunday 14th November 2021
Quite a busy day - especially for Erika - who had not one but a total of three playdates today. First at ours spanning lunch with a friend from school, then over to another friend for the afternoon (and meanwhile Chie and I went for a walk on the heath) then finally an impromptu gathering back at ours again for dinner.

Checking up on the tomato plant - as the leaves were starting to wilt, I decided I should probably harvest them now, and hope they'd ripen indoors.

A raspberry!

The final apple on the tree, which I decided it was also time now to pick.

Olives.

Season of mellow fruitfulness innit.

On the way to the heath, Chie was taken with this red foliage.

Heading to the barrow.

Thought I'd try this, Gevrey Chambertin Heresztyn-Mazzini.

Oh that's a novelty - Gevrey Chambertin with a synthetic closure.

16:33:38
Oh, and it turns out synthetic closures aren't very compatible with wine prongs. I'm officially not a fan now.

As it got dark on the heath.

On the way back from the heath we picked Erika up from her friend's house, and then made spontaneous plans for dinner on the way home.

This frying pan is far from ideal for Spanish omelettes.
