7 containers of home made tomato passata sitting on the kitchen bench cooling prior to freezing. Tomatoes from my garden are the star ingredient 😊

Had a lot of suddenly really ripe tomatoes from my garden sitting around, so decided to make some passata I can freeze and use in all sorts of dishes. This is just over 1.2L all divided up and cooling before freezing. 😊

The Guardian of the Front Yard has spotted Next Door's Cat and is politely asking them to vacate the yard.

Just relaxing on the bed, waiting for possible treats. Trying Jedi mind tricks with his stare.

More cooking with home grown veg - 2nd batch of apple cucumber pickles done and dusted. Twice the amount as the first batch of cucumber pickles! Heaps more cucumbers on the vine, too, may have to have a go at making bread and butter pickles next 😊

Here in Australia there is a cap on donations to political parties. Although there are billionaires that a) don’t like that and b) try to get around it by allowing their preferred candidates to fly around in their personal jets etc.
I’m sure there are other countries that limit donations too.

So I bought some new kibble cat treats that are chicken flavoured and contain catnip. Mr Tinker wolfed his three treats down and I suspect also got one of Princess Leia's.
He's been lying motionless like this , staring, for the past 20 mins πŸ˜†

Telling me that bed-making is not important and he shouldn't have to move from his comfy position.
Guess I’m not making the bed, then πŸ˜†

I love cooking from the garden - I’ve already made some green tomato pickles, some apple cucumber pickles and some basic tomato pasta sauce from this year’s crop. 😊
My friends and neighbours get spoiled.

Two large and 6 smaller jars of just cooked and bottled tomato relish, sitting on a rack on the stove top cooling. The tomatoes used were grown in my garden😊

A productive afternoon - 3kgs of ripe tomatoes from the garden are now a yummo tomato relish 😊

Grey /white Mr Tinker cat lying comfortably on the new plush doggo bed. He is asleep with his front legs stretched out and paws crossed. In the background is a sisal scratcher on the wardrobe door, it’s painted in the style of Van Gogh’s β€˜Starry Night’, with a cat silhouette replacing the trees.

So glad the new doggo bed meets Mr Tinker’s approval 😊

Three baskets and a bowl full of home grown produce -  3 varieties of tomatoes, chillies, eggplants, zucchini and an apple cucumber 😊

Things are going well in our little garden! Still have tomatoes ripening on the back windowsills and heaps more on the plants.
The big red tomatoes are going to be turned into relish in the next couple of days 😊

Keep asking the question of him. Don’t answer his loathsome insults. Ask the question again. Make the 🍊🀑 break, and he will. His toadies all know it.

The longer the delay in holding these goons accountable the more emboldened they will become. I agree, it’s a matter of when, not if, more US citizens will be executed on US streets.

Your daily Harry…

Harry has had an all over clip today. The indignity!
He hates being brushed, especially if there are mats. So it’s off to the vet for sedation and clippage. If only he’d let us brush him πŸ˜”
Mind you, I'm sleeping with one eye open!

The 🍊🀑 is one giant example of projection. If he is accusing others of anything, he is doing that same thing himself.
And there are still people that either can’t or don’t want to see that.
