MUSSELS

Hot, 31° C when I checked in the porch a short while ago.  Luckily it was a bit cooler when I went to the exercise class with my neighbour earlier in the afternoon.  

We did a bit in the garden this morning but the day  seemed to fly and I didn't get around to freezng any more tomatoes - will have to do that tomorrow.

I had not been home long when there was a ring on the door and it was my neighbour.  We did not stay for the usual cuppa as her daughter was coming down from Mitimiti and she had brought us some lovely raw mussels removed from the shell.  Doug has just made mussel fritters so we will be having those shortly.

I have just been over to take both the daughter and neighbour a jar of honey each as a "thank you".  The two banana plants that we bught at the end of November are liking this weather.

  1. A balmy 6 degrees C here this morning and that's much warmer than of late. No banana plants in my garden!

    1. We could have done with that temperature last night as it stayed hot.

  2. Very toasty in your neck of the woods! We've been experiencing strong winds and showers. I like the 'Nessie' I spy in between the banana plants.

    1. I think the weather is changeable the world over. Nessie has just been moved there as he was hidden by rapidly growing "Swan Plants" for the Monarch butterflies.

  4. The banana plants would be loving the Summer, it's starting cooling down here nicely.
