A tale of two fruits

Both of these fruits are destined to make jelly. The medlars need to blet first (or at least some of them). The quinces (or at least those there is room for) are going in the oven to slow-cook today - alongside (but not with!) beef brisket and other delights which OB is cooking up.

As I was rubbing the "fluff" off the quinces I was listening to Jacques Brel on the radio. Took me right back.

Hope you're all having a good weekend, blippers.

Update: I have tidied my desk and thrown out loads of rubbish. I feel unburdened!

And just heard Doris Lessing has died. What a writer she was.
