that's brought and even bigger smile to my face.it was bad enough having a bag on when i had my prostate sorted bag was the size of a pillowcase and i filled it every night.a hose pipe would have been the ideal solution but i don't think the NHS supply them.A superb reply thank you.

You'd like the apples I pick from the community orchard here. Not sweet like supermarket apples, but truly lovely.

Finished the last of the Thoday's Quarrendens the other day. Now beginning to make a start on a tray of Cockett's Red.

I have some red flesh apples in my garden, don't know what they are but very nice.
I have got around 12lbs blanched in the freezer portioned for my winter crumbles

Quite unconsciously I ate pizza with a big glass of Italian red wine and then settled down to watching England v Italy so I'm now having an English beer. I'm planning for a second English one.

I made vegetable soup this evening with wheaten bread.

Washing up done. Now thinking about changing the filter in the water jug.

My own apple trees produced diddly squat this year. But I always make use of the community orchard as they have late season keeping varieties. Which I store in cardboard trays in my unheated hallway. Always got enough for lunches and desserts to hand.

Here's an autumn leaf. It lived a colourful life.

I booked a blood appointment in September, earliest I could get was January. Good to know the blood sessions are fully booked next 3 months.

I try and book my next one a couple of weeks before my present one, if that makes sense (!) otherwise the appointments are full.

You sir are a hero

Thank you. 😊

I bet that's off some variety of cherry. Cherry leaves have this wonderful habit of going a lovely deep red colour* when they drop.

* That's its ACTUAL colour btw, because the green of active chlorophyll masks the real colour of tree leaves. It's only when the chlorophyll goes *fzzzzzzt* in autumn that we get to see what's been hiding behind it.

No cherry trees nearby but it has been a day of fresh winds so it could be cherry from afar.

(I'm not sure I get the actual colour argument. You can't have green leaves without chlorophyll, sure. But without chlorophyll, you can't have the plants that grow it. It's more of a ''latent'' colour of leaves in autumn for me.)
