squash

I went out to put the peelings and seeds from last night's butternut squash into the wormery - this is one of the worms' all-time favourite foods. They also enjoy melon and mango skins - I think they have a sweet tooth. I found that the seeds from our last squash had germinated and I feel sorry for them as it will be too cold now to take them out and grow them properly. They will just, in their turn (like us!) be more food for the worms.

Quite a busy day in the cafe today, and after work I did a food shop and then paid a visit to the pool. I haven't been swimming for ages but apparently I should be doing less walking this week ("tapering" is the technical term) so I thought I'd do some lengths instead. I decided to do a length for every mile of the walk (and two for luck). It was nice to stretch out in the sauna afterwards.

D is cooking tonight :-)
