Pottering

[callistra]

It's 8:26 and I have ... bottled the rhubarb champagne with Sharkbait's help. Seasolled my entire garden. Picked some tomatoes. Put a load of dishes on. Made corned beef sandwiches for Chesh. Dusted down Small Fry from all the sand he collected in his five minutes outside.  Showered. Changed clothes once already. :-)

Things! Stuff! Not bad for 2 hours awake! 

Gosh it's humid. Ick.
:-)
Lovely that it's not too hot though.

I am wary of this rhubarb champagne. It all sounds too good to be true.

Sorry hun, it's non-alcoholic apparently

Oh, now I'm interested. I've got mad rhubarb plants, so.... how do you make it?
