That turned out to be a very good idea indeed Doggy. A few teething troubles but that was the point of it.
Put spare key in the camper right now!!

32 degreees & 80% humidity? You can keep my share of that! Is it still hot a night - how do you sleep?
The menagerie all look fine and dare I say it settled? Guess thay know which side their bread's buttered on.
Fortunately the nights are mercifully cool now, not like it was in June. I think we had a 14 degree night a few days back (chilly!) but mostly it's about 20. The idea is to trap as much of that in the house as possible. Anyway, there's always the air con (shame it doesn't work in the garden...)
The kitten's are quite happy, Archie and Grace have both earned their mouser qualifications. Sadly Tippi seems to be happy reducing the hummingbird hawk moth population
It's their nature I guess. I'm not sure how Shelly's fitting in, she'd quite like Annie to be her mum too, sadly Annie's not having any of it
The otrher kittens don't seem to want to play with her much either, but she's not been here a week so there's time.

Wiggy that black kitten is adorable,
You wouldn't say that if she had her teeth sunk into your finger (I think she's confusing playful with painful...)
I like tomatoes when they taste like tomatoes! the sh*t we get here is artificially grown as far as I can tell and tastes of cardboard.
It's picked green and then ripened with ethylene gas, which only does the outside, so they look right on the shelf but the insides are still unripe and, quite frankly, tastews2qayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (thanks Archie) taste like pus. Tomatoes are meant to be red through and through, if they're not stick them straight in the bin.
And don't get me started on Carrots
I've got them too, although most of them look like pairs of trousers. That was the first lot I seededed, very few germinated but the subsequent 2 sewings didn't germinate at al, so I'm grateful for what I've got. It's been that kind of year, too cold and wet to too hot and dry with scarcely a pause. My toms are doing much better than everyone else I know, purely because I planted them out at the end of April as I usually do, everyone said it was still too cold, which it was, but they were getting too big for the pots, so it was either take a chance and plant them out or loose the lot.
I have 86 tomato plants btw, mostly ox hearts with some plumbs and one cherry. They range from 3 to about 8 feet tall. They'd be taller but I'd need a step ladder
