COURGETTES
Grilled, fried, pickled, made into chutney, muffins, breads, soups, stuffed.....the list is endless & I still got lots left as they grow on a daily basis :) oh forgot: I grated a few kilos & froze them too.
Now the garden is in full swing I am even busier than usual. If not in the garden, I am in the kitchen trying to cope with all the produce. The runner beans are competing with the dwarf grean beans, the shallots need hangibg up to dry, still waiting for my tomatoes to turn red, spinach, cucumber galore, little cute butternut squash, & really tasty crunchy carrots :)
Its a good thing that I only train 3 times a week now. With looking after the pheasants as well....it all gets a bit much sometimes. But I won't complain. I love this time of a year!!!! Picking my own fruit & veg is my favourite past time :).
The one thing that is really upsetting me: My mum being so miserable!
I can't get my head around it. Its always worst case senario with her. I know she is ill, she hasn't had a firm diagnose yet but instead of dealing with the symptoms she seems to go out of her way to aggrevate them. *sigh* Now she wants to sell the family home & put herself in an old peoples home. She is 74! My sister & I have told her years ago to sell the damm thing & find a little manageble place. I think half the problem is that she has been on her own for so long. My dad died nearly 30 years agao, making her a widow at mere 45 years old. For some reason she never found someone else :(
Her crying everytime I call is so sad. & I don't know what to do to help her.
Looking forward to my kettlebell session tonight. I really have grown to love these. Strength training & cardio in the same set: it doesn't get much better!!!
