Preserves!

Today bottled four more jars of plums, stewed some plums that were a little overripe and still there are lots of plums left on the tree, probably make more plum jam and stew the rest for freezing. What an exciting time, I feel I am waking, dreaming and sleeping plums never mind eating them:)
Awoke fairly late this morning, early morning cuppa and a read of the paper in bed-great! Up had a wash, then made breakfast, porridge today as although it was sunny it was a tad cold. Just as we were eating our soda bread in came Christine she had a coffee and a piece of soda bread, first checking it was homemade! Quick chat she forgot my jumper then she was away to do more cleaning.
We went down to the shore once again it was incredibly warm and sunny, had a super walk. Ruaridh really loves going into the sea and river now. Loves running and jumping after stones and paddling and swimming in the sea.
Lunch when we got home, then into the bottling, great fun getting the plums off the tree. Layla telephoned they are all OK looking forward to seeing them at the end of the week!
Did loads of ironing, Graham made chocolate muffins they taste great. Took Ruaridh for a walk to Christine's to get my jumper to no avail. Mum telephoned re the internet not working, don't know what she did but suddenly I got an email from her, from the 28th August?
Courgette and french bean risotto for dinner with green salad lovely.
Going to do the dishes then dare I say some knitting. Bye.
