i do get satisfaction, sorry mick.

it is incredibly satisfying to grow your own food, evern if the quantities are irrisory.

 

it also  pumps up your cooking creativity because you use what you have at hand.kukes have given a lot of joy, some have been left to grow big; others have been picked up small and are sleeping a pickled dream . we're going to have home made gherkins in our pastrami sandos.

radishes posess the gift of fertility,they grow soon after being sowed. nothing like  picked radishes for a salad!

 i am going to bid for an allotment for next year.

knitted blanket disappointment

looked gorgeous after opening the batching bundle

summer rinsing fun at the neighboring brook.this year due to the temps it was nost frecquented by folks  and dogs looking for respite. note the water saving strategy  ( ¨¨ ω¨¨ )   

 

drying and unravelling the yarn colors were a disappointment.i have a hunch the temps killed whatever shelf life the procion dyes had. i've had 15-20 year old procion dyes dyeing perfectly   and these were just 5 years old.¯\ ( ツ) /¯ either the heat or that they are not made with the same quality standards of old. just like bacon and most of the things. everything is pointing towards my impending future.

o hisashiburi ne!

it's been days of fierce heat so i've been laying extremely low. since the studio is on the top floor it became a nice little oven. first two weeks in august were overly torrid with lots of wild fires.i could just move my hands because any other movement was too much effort.northern spain is not used to 40ºtempsand nights of 24º

once the heat subsided work started. will be posting along the week the last two weeks work. finally my computer was set up and now i have my programs and my stuff handy again. hallelujah!
