Tammy and Magz finally made the blueberries into a crumble. Sadly there wasn’t any custard to go with it but there was cream. As you can imagine it was delicious and there was some for me to take to work during the week in my sandwich box. I know I’m spoiled. Now I just have to wait for the apples to be ready for apple pie, maybe there maybe some custard this time, hehehe.
While I wait on the apples maturing my tomatoes are near picking. Though they are still green I have snipped some from the plants to let them redden on the window sill. Magz reckons they should be put in a drawer. I’ve never heard of that before as I was brought up with them sitting on the sill to get the sun. Of course that is a rare thing here in Scotland. At the moment they are where I think they should be though I wouldn’t be surprised to find Magz had put them where she wants them. I suppose it would be interesting to see who has the best method for bringing them to full ripeness. Magz enjoyed the ones that matured on the bush but they were few. With autumn making itself felt at night now I don’t wish to leave the rest of the fruit to long on the plants or I might lose them to an early frost.
I had to move my blueberry bush to a more sheltered spot as it has be a bit windy over the past few days. I’m still getting more berries from it so there is possibly another pie though I think it will be a small one. Still pie is pie for those of us that like them.

Calum has gotten himself a part time job which made me very proud of him. He’s at college so the extra money is something he could do with. He’ll be one of those annoying telesales callers so please don’t hate him, hehehe. He’s a great kid and almost eighteen. Sometimes he makes me feel old, hehehe.
He was also planning on clearing his room for the project. I think the plan is to clear the space where he wants the desk built so not a full clear out. Still it will hopefully be enough to get the job done. That is the main thing after all though I would have preferred he did a complete tidy up. I suppose that is just the parent in me.
Magz made some small apple and blueberry pies which one or two of them ended up in my lunch box. They were delicious but I did miss the custard. Well we can’t have everything. She has more apples to make some more with. Hopefully she’ll make a tart this weekend. I will have to wait and see. Though I don’t think she got custard so that might be a bad sign. Maybe I’ll need to ask nicely, hehehe.
I’m working on another poem about the First World War. It was a haunting image of a blue on blue incident that has been fallowing me around for the past week or more. I post the first version in Absolute Write poetry critique section to get some feed back. Now I need to work on it to flesh the imagery out. I also have one or two clichés to remove. It is so easy to use them without realising you’re doing it. Still that is why I use the forums to help keep me straight.
