Today's pickings.......

Hi Friends,
Today's pickings........watercress. Could have harvested more stuff to be honest, but it was wazzing down with rain & I feel like a beanbag in my cagoule. I've already bored everyone with my 'old washing-up bowl' method of growing watercress, so suffice it to say that my old washing-up bowl is still producing, though not as much as earlier in the year. As I could feel the rain running in rivulets down the back of my top, I just picked one bunch.......

......but that's all you need for a small batch of soup, so perfect. 

One portion for lunch, two for the freezer & no wasted watercress.

Cat Help: Well, actually, he was GENUINELY helpful today. He helped by staying asleep on the sofa all morning instead of lying smack in the middle of the kitchen floor waiting for the fridge door to open. When he did go out, he did his usual wet weather thing of peering through his cat flap in the back door at the pouring rain.........then begging to be let out of the front! Ever the optimist, he always thinks it will only be raining out the back & the front drive will be dry. Wish you could see his face when he trots out & realises he's made the same old mistake again!
Have a good Friday night, all.
