Yea. I looked it up. I think this time change is the one I like the best. I've been sleeping late at times but then it will be 7:30 instead of 8:30. Sometimes I'm up half the night and I like getting up early. It's on All Saints Day this year. ?

Just picked all of our remaining unripened figs. With today’s cold driving rain, coupled with no sunshine in sight and temps in the 50‘s, no way they will ripen. Sooooooo, going to try and make “Unripened Fig” jam. Many UK gardeners make this at season’s end.

Yummy... I got hooked on a spread of figs with chili as a jam. A good cheese ball and good crackers!!!! Is just too good!?

Bla - another cold start to our day @46F (7.7C) and holding. The good thing, these cold wet days provide time for me to work on the “Ships Galley Box” since this is indoors. Supposed to be cold & wet ?all week.

My preserved green fig concoction seemed to have turned out. The aim was to turn hard green/unripe figs into soft sweet morsels to top on toast, or cheese, or like mint jam on lamb. Not “fig jam” per se.

Hello everyone, I had blood work done before my doctors appointment last week. The results said I was anemic. So after a B 12 shot and a iron supplement the last 4 or 5 days have been the best for me in a long time.
What I was perceiving that my pains were the contributing factor of my psyche of hopelessness turned out in part to be because I am anemic.
Might sound weird but I am actually a little relieved.
Fixed the refrigerator in the garage. The freezer worked but the refrigerator side didn't. It ended up being the defrost heating element.
I will try to catch up on what has been going on in the CDR.
Hope all is well!?

All good here.
Very glad indeed that you've had a few better days.Topofworld.gif
