after wet it's back to normal mediterrean

yes we had a few very humid, dark days with all-night rain.
But daytime was dry and warm (sweaty even). Alan did a lot of painting - I forgot to picture that, next time. Lovely kiwis helped in that too, and left the house cleaner than it was for a long time - an other thanks to them for all the unexpected money - we thought we'd have no more visitors this time of the year - and all the work and all the good time! And thank you for the nice page in the guest-book, including the New Zealand flags!! Jenna baked the pumpkin pie of the picture. That was a bit of a dinner party, Zoltan, Anna and Ricsi were taking part, too. Anna and Ricsi were not convinced with the prawn cocktail or the goat curry, but liked the pumpkin soup and the rhubarb crumble with custard... But all others were I think... a very pleasant evening.
Meanwhile the next batch of cider is ready - a bit vinegary for my taste, I preferred the first batch - but evidently drinkable. Still have to bottle the 40liters or so in the barrel.
The mushrooms had their second flush, but quite dry, we poured some water in the sacks - we'll see if that did any good.
If the weather keeps warm I hope we get more figs - they seem to be on the verge of ripening. That's it really, quiet days of nothing much happening out of ordinary, which is good, even if a bit boring...
