One perfect pointed pepper

Peppers are a tough crop for England. Even in a greenhouse, there’s not enough sunlight and heat (and we’re in the sunniest county in the country). So it’s always exciting to pick the first pepper of the season.

Speaking of cold, we’ve put the central heating on tonight. I think we’ve had the heat on at least two days every month this summer. I’ve had an abiding dread that I’m going to see myself out in an unusually cold era, and it does seem to be coming to pass.

I mailed off my request for an absentee ballot today. I’m cutting it finer than I like, but I lost the email with the address I had to send it to. I tried to get this in the post in June (yes, I did eventually find my house on the map), but I should get everything in and back in time.

Anyway, that’s it for another week. Have a good weekend, everyone!
