It's a gorgeous day, the wind has dropped and the sun is shining. The Christmas bush is reddening and looks wonderful against the blue sky. I spotted my first red cherry tomato, there's a cucumber almost full size, the climbing beans are rocketing up the frame and small beans are starting, I'm getting little purple, yellow and red capsicums, and little basil plants are finally popping up from seed that I scattered. Lots more, but generally, it's a pleasure to be in the garden.

Everything's coming together for John's CD launch tomorrow. This thing looks like being bigger than Ben Hur. Now we've got complimentary champagne for early arrivals and gawd knows what else. Should be fun!

I'll try and remember your parsley Sandra, but with everything else going on, I wonder if I will? No good putting it in the car now - it would cook.
