Great Light Meal

 After days of pizza and feeling bloated, it was great to get a light meal:

This roasted sweet potato with feta (and rocket) was fantastic.

The lentil meal below was heavier:

But still very good.

Getting the Garden in Shape

While in the garden, I spent much of my time stopping vine from strangling conifer (and other) trees.

To protect the trees, I also trimmed the branches to stop the trees invading on each other's space:

Through this kind of work, the garden started to take on a much better shape:

The work included getting rid of nettles too, of course:

And protecting fences:

All in all, this was good exercise, what gardening should be.

Apple Pie Making Machine

My fruit picking in the orchard wasn't for nothing, as my wife produced an apple pie with the machine below:

The apple (plus plum and pear) pie was delicious, of course:

 Especially topped with yoghurt.

In the Orchard

Went into the orchard a few times to gather fruit:

Yeah, it's a good season for the plums.

But many of the pears were too high up, out of reach:

But I ended up filling in a hole created by an uprooted tree:

Operating the Well

Never imagined just how tiring a well can be, every bucket was like bringing in a big pike.

But still, we got to water the young, struggling conifers:

Our New Friend, Mruczek

 In Eastern Poland, we met Mruczek, who through an illness has a bob tail:

Above everything else, Mruczek likes chicken cream:

Mruczek is third or fourth in a line of Mruczeks who we've known, and, of course, Kotek was curious about him:

Moby - Warsaw Progresja Letnia Scena (4-08-2026)

 Moby was always going to be a cracking concert and so it proved.

Loved every minute right from the word go.

Great tune following great tune (In This World; We Are All Made of Stars; Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad etc.).

Fantastic musicianship all round.

And the singing was awe inspiring (from Nadine above and India too, of course). When Nadine and India sang Flower/Find My Baby, I was mesmerised, the two vocalists work so well together.

A big well done to the sound people and stage crew, I was near the back of the gig, but the sound and visuals travelled really well.

Yeah, this was a thoroughly enjoyable concert.
