I'm thinking about curry but in the meantime I had to prune my precious olive tree today. There has been so much rain recently in town that the ground is sodden and the weight of the olives was threatening to pull the tree over. Most of the olives are still green but fortunately mature enough to use. The froglets have stripped the prunings and I’ve put the olives into brine.

How lucky you are - to have your own olive tree. and yes, the rain is all over the East Coast. We haven't been able to speak in normal tones for weeks up here. ah, the pleasures of tin roofs.
