No overtime this weekend so I’m looking forward to my two days off. I’ll get the extra I worked last weekend on my wages next week which is something. Magz will put it to getting some of the smaller gifts I imagine. With my kids now getting to that awkward age to buy for, we’ll probably chicken out picking something for them and just give them the money so they can spend it as they wish. Though saying that it will be Magz that makes the final decision on what happens. She seems to know the wants of Calum and Tammy than me. Is that just me or is it because she’s the house parent? I think the latter. I say that because when the kids were younger Magz and my roles were reversed. She had the job leaving it up to me to deal with the smelly nappies. Sometimes I miss those times then I remember how exhausting it was running after two children. I feel for the parents of larger families.
I picked more tomatoes on Sunday with more to pick tomorrow. There is more blueberries as well and the apples to check again. The branches are weighed down with the swollen fruit which are a lovely red. They look almost good enough to eat straight off of the tree. Though I know that wouldn’t be wise as cooking apples aren’t the sweetest. I don’t think that I will be getting any pumpkins this year. The ones that I planted haven’t done so well. With the awful summer and the slugs they suffered. They did try to produce fruit repeatedly. They are also flowering again but the colder nights have come in now so I don’t see them producing anything. I did have my corn though which was delicious though a little on the young side. Well it is the first time I have tried to grow corn.
