vital functions

Reading. Many many Raksura books: The Edge of Worlds, Stories of the Raksura vol 1, and I am now Making Progress through The Harbors of the Sun. (Alas the library does not seem to have Stories of the Raksura vol 2, so I might need to request it for completeness' sake...)

Watching. Good Omens S01E01! We are rewatching in preparation for the second season, and I have on this go-round noted that Gneil carefully arrange to have "Aziraphale" pronounced the way he and Pterry originally intended in The Very First Episode. Which I am amused by. (I will contemplate attempting to actually find sources... later.)

Cooking. New recipe of the week: smitten kitchen every day charred corn succotash, with beans (and garlic and chilli) grown At Home. I really like this; A thinks it is Very Lime; I am probably going to add it to the rotation especially if I get my act together to grow more red sweetcorn next year. (At which point with only a little more organisation I'll be able to grow all the ingredients except the lime and the veg*n "fish" sauce at home. I'll probably still use bought crispy shallots, though...)

First blackberry cobbler of the year. Experimental pine nut & sage sourdough -- which manages to be Very Savoury but we are not quite sure what else we think of it.

Eating. BLACKBERRIES.

Growing. I have managed: some weeding. Some more harvesting. (TOMATOES.) Mostly not killing things. Planting out some more of the purple mangetout after the first couple didn't die. I am feeling somewhat overwhelmed by The State Of Things again (I wish! I were not! so easily derailed! by the CARPET) but. C'mon self, Along We Plod.
