[Hattie (Sloth in the time of corona)]

Going on holiday tomorrow to meet… someone.

Rain.

[Piemanlee (Knows how 3D spaces work)]

I got a raise

[Hattie (Sloth in the time of corona)]

Conference proposal was accepted, so heading to Belfast in October.

[Jefe (ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ ରଥ ଚକ ତଳେ |)]

So.Much.Fruit.

We just got a boat-load of pears, peaches, strawberries, plums and melons from friends and neighbours ; our plum tree will have about 75lbs ready to pick by the weekend ; and our tomato plants are heaving under the weight of ripe fruit.

We will be canning, dehydrating and freezing our asses off for the next week.

[Hattie (Sloth in the time of corona)]

Oh god I know the feeling! Our garden is producing a surplus of tomatoes and courgettes in particular. I was hanging out my washing today and my brother came by, casually inspected the vegetation, then cried, “Oh no! Secret marrow!”

[VaultHunter101 (Flying: throwing yourself at the ground and missing)]

courgettes

For those in N. America needing a translation, that would be “zucchinis”. You’re all most welcome!

Meanwhile, I’m here in the happy place…:

Blackberry season snuck up on me, picked up some berries from nearby, just enough for a cobbler for now.

[Hattie (Sloth in the time of corona)]

Off on holiday.

I can’t believe it finally happened! ️

[HandsomeCam (TheFriskyFinisci)]

So… @Hattie, did you travel to Texas to study mansplaining first-hand, or did @FunkJunkie finally decide to bring the splainin’ to you?

[VaultHunter101 (Flying: throwing yourself at the ground and missing)]

Pretty sure Hattie mentioned gong on vacation to meet someone a day or two ago.

I just noticed the bush in the back, which answered my question. Good for her! Funk! Take her shootin’!

EDIT:
My horticulture sucks, as you will find out farther down.

And make sure you don’t get a large of anything, remember, a large american soda IS A FRICKEN BUCKET. Like seriously, HOW DO YOU DRINK A BUCKET OF SODA.

The Canadian robot speaks wisely. We have very large drinks.

Like seriously, HOW DO YOU DRINK A BUCKET OF SODA.

Obesity doesn’t happen on it’s own, you know.

I’m trying to imagine somone drinking the whole bucket-o-soda and I want to vomit.

And trying to stay on topic:

I’m happy Canada has proper food portions xD

[Tracer (Teamwork is Powerful!)]

Speaking of which, I wish America was like Canada when it comes to how food is made.
