Lord preserve us

If you open our fridge and larder doors you will see jars of:

• beetroot relish
• green tomato chutney
• bramble jelly
• plum jam
• clementine marmalade
• ordinary marmalade
• marrow chutney
  

all made by my own not-so-fair hands during the course of this year. My sister V said admiringly "You're quite the little Chutney Mary!" but actually I'm not altogether sure I like that epithet.

Not only that, but I spent yesterday (and most of Wednesday) laying a new bamboo laminate floor in the conservatory. Which now looks rather nice I think.

On a less self-aggrandizing note, Beavers blamed for likely bank failure. Now we know!

This is a pretty good visual aggregator of the various US Presidential opinion polls, showing how each state will likely contribute to the electoral college picture. Clever bit of design, via the excellent info_sthetics as usual.

And St Peter's Brewery have some more discount deals on. Get in there, Boozy, you're late for your autumnal drunkening!

I was trepidatious too until this year, but I thought I might as well give it a go as we had all this veg. It's turned out to be pretty easy (compared with real cooking!) -- pretty much just bung everything in a pan and let it boil down to the right consistency.
